I'm hoping anyone can help me in English - my Dutch is a bit rusty - to explain the difference between a fokfamilie and merrielijn and also i.e. Sina-stam. What does this mean. Merrilijen is quite obvious but how is this connected to fokfamilies? Seems to me all horses with a fokfamilie number seem to decend from Studbook Oldenburg..
What about the connection between Merrielijn and "some mare's"-stam.
Please anyone
Thank's!
