For many decades, Swedish Warmblood has delivered highly successful horses for breeding and for sports.
This didn’t just happen by chance, but has been the result of methodically bred mare lines and the knowledgeable experience of the breeders over many years. The knowledge of these mare lines is therefore essential.
The Swedish Warmblood mare lines are indicated from the numbers 1 to 78 and F1 to F6 (F stands for Flyinge).
The Dutch magazine ”Sport Horse Breeding” ranks the mare families whose offspring had the most success in dressage in the World. In 2009 Spindafamily, F2 was in 2d place, in 7th place was Amurthafamily, 36 and in 11th place was Lessyfamily, 65.
