About the Groningen Breed .Essentially a Dutch farm horse, the Groningen
can be used successfully as a heavy-weight saddle-horse and
is also an excellent carriage horse, showing speedy, responsive
and stylish action, with much natural bearing and great endurance.
Of good conformation, this horse has a strong back and deep
body, with legs and feet of excellent substance, and a very
refined head and neck, yet thrives on poor-ish fare. His strong
characteristics are said to be docility and obedience. Height
ranges from 15.2 to 16 hands, although larger specimens are
permitted. Despite a comparatively heavy weight, the horse is
primarily a light draught horse, of pure breed and good pedigree.
