History: Evolved through pairing of Frisian mares with Andalusien and Arab stallions. The elegant, Oldenburg coachhorse was one of the oldest and thoroughly bred Warmbloodbreed. With the conversion to a riding horse in the 60es/70es and the massive inclusion of Thoroughbreds and Hannoveranian stallions the old type was replaced.The warmblood breeding in the Netherlands and Denmakr as well as the breeding of heavy warmbloods can be traced back to Oldenburger blood.
