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, currently competing 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.

Dam, Raise or Fold, is the product of Thoroughbred bloodlines known to produce international showjumpers.  Her paternal grandsire, Sir Ribot, was sired by Ribot whose motherline descends from the Rock Sand and Marco lines.  Sir Ribot's dam, Monarchia, has two connections to the Dark Ronald line and one to the Nearco line.  Raise or Fold's paternal grandam, Fossil, was sired by Turn-to who directly descends form the French Grey, Nearco, Blenheim II, and Marco lines.  Fossil's dam, Great Niece, brings two connection to the Rock Sand line and one connection to the Marco, French Grey, and Nearco lines.  From Raise or Fold's damsire, Beau Prince, we see Teddy, Blenheim II, and Rock Sand via Man O' War in addition to the Dark Ronald and Marco lines.  Her maternal granddam, Proud Wanda, was very well bred for sport.  Her sire, Even Stephen, came from a Nasrullah daughter and he descends from the Teddy line twice and the Dark Ronald, French Grey, Nearco, and Blenheim II lines once each.  Proud Wanda's dam, Proudanbusy, descends three time from the Rock Sand line and twice from the Dark Ronald line.
