"Oldenburg upholds its breeding tradition in a special way: by maintaining its traditional mare lines. According to the motto, the best of the breed must be kept for breeding, breeders work for generations to maintain and continuously improve their broodmare lines. The significance of breeding based on Oldenburg mare lines is also symbolized by the names given: The first letter and often even the root word of the name of the dam line is passed on, remaining identical from one generation to the next. That's why you easily find the lines of Weissena, Rikki, Cinderella, Blankenese and many other traditional names in the pedigrees of high profiled athletes and breeding stars. "
