Silver Lining comes from proven lineage sired by the top producer, Landadel, and out of the fourfold stallion producing dam and elite mare, Fureida II, who descends from the famous Heida line. Fureida II is of the successful Gotthard / Furioso II cross which also produced Voltaire. She is the dam of the approved stallion, Coulthard, and the mare, Heideglück, who produced the approved stallion, Incello. Silver Lining's older full brother, Laertes, was successfully competed in the international jumping ring. Another full brother, Lagoheidor, was both Champion of the Oldenburger stallion selections in 1994 and won the performance test in Medingen in 1995. He now competes Grand Prix dressage. A third full brother, Landor S, won the Bundeschampionat in 1997 and was chosen to be the Oldenburger Jumping Stallion of the Year. He followed this up with many big wins including Reserve Landeskampion, Reserve Weser-Ems Champion in 1999, and winner of the Volvo Cup 'S' jumping competition in Elmlohe. Landor S is the sire of 6 'Briljant' show mares, many Champion mares and stallions, more than 20 approved sons, and has had many offspring qualify for the Bundeschampionat.  Silver Lining was bred by Gerd Sosath.
