2003 Rastede Mare Show Brilliant Ring
Just a look at the "family ties" in the pedigrees of the mares in the Brilliant ring shows that Oldenburg has systematically pursued performance breeding policies: The dam of the Reserve Champion Mare, Uniqua, is a full sister of Figaro's Boy, a highly successful jumper ridden by Ludger Beerbaum.

According
to Jan Pedersen, the crop of mares shown in Rastede was at a very high
overall level: "functionality, presence, movement and beauty"
is what distinguishes these mares – the result of Oldenburg's
highly successful, open and very liberal breeding policy. 
The
granddam of Walzertanz, the mare on 7th place, named Walzerschritt,
was an Oldenburg Champion Mare in her day. And Elegant, who took 8th
place (bred by Edith and Ernst Fleitmann in Großenkneten), is
a full sister of the 2001 Champion Mare, Edina. She comes from the line
that also produced the top dressage horses, Aleppo-S-OLD and Rainier.
The dam of the jumper mare, Cypria, is also the dam of two approved
stallions, Raschid N and Rover.
