Csikos
The csikos, Hungarian: csikós, is the mounted horse-herdsman of Hungary. The csikos tradition is closely associated with the Hungarian puszta, in recent times particularly in the environs of Debrecen and Hortobágy, and in the Hortobágy National Park. It is also closely linked to the Nonius breed of horse, for which one of the two principal breeding centres is the Máta Stud, some 3 kilometres from Hortobágy.[1]
