The Groninger is a Dutch horse breed, which is an important breeding basis for the Dutch Warmblood , which is very successful in equestrian sports. Along with the Gelderlander , it influenced many Dutch breeds. It can hardly be found in its original form of a robust work and agricultural horse. It is used more as a coarse-bodied carriage horse these days.
