Groningen horses are slowly declining in number. They are one of the rarest breeds in Holland.
The Groningen horse stands between 15.3 and 16.1 hands. The association presently has more than 400 members. The studbook and breeding register together list just over 300 horses. At present about 20 stallions are approved for breeding the Groningen.
This breed came from the northwestern province of Groningen and was created by crossing East Friesian and Oldenburg animals with native stock. The result was an attractive carriage horse with stylish action, great endurance and a charming character.
