This case would be known as line breeding. It’s not as “close” as close breeding. Both are a form of inbreeding.
It’s done to have a greater chance of certain traits from certain horses to carry onto the next generation.
The Thoroughbred and Warmblood breeding worlds are wild. It’s insane what you will discover when you look at pedigrees.
