Facts:The Oldenburg matures early, particularly for such a large horse. Because of this, the horse is known to be kind, yet bold.
The Oldenburg horse is in fact, the tallest and heaviest of all the German Warmbloods. Also for being as big as it is, the Oldenburg matures rather early; they are kind yet are very bold.
The Oldenburg horses of the 17th century or the "old types" met many needs when it came to working on a farm, but however, when the invention of machinery became more popular they became less used. So as a result they were infused with a heavier blood making them more useful for cavalry work. Time did however catch up with them again and they once again weren't able to perform a lot of the required tasks, so Thoroughbred and Anglo-Norman blood was infused and produced today's modern Oldenburg; they have become quite skilled in the competition ring particularly in dressage and driving.
Super Fact:The Oldenburg is a warmblood horse from the north-western corner of Lower Saxony, what was formerly the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg. The breed was built on a mare base of all-purpose farm and carriage horses, today called the Alt-Oldenburger.
