| I like Leaving Memories horses. They have good bone, good feet and plenty of size. Looks like my filly will be over 152 when she actually turns two in Feb. I might add that horses with fine bone usually have a much more dense bone. So having a good heavy boned horse will not be the answer to joint of foot problems.
Here is a picture of my yearling filly taken in November. The horse that she is standing next to is 16.1 I think she was just a bit over 15.1 in this picture.

Location: Crowder, OK | Ive had two Lions Share of Fame babies and both of them have the biggest bone and feet than Ive seen on any of the later racing bloodlines....other than that, I had a Pie In The Sky gelding he had huge bone but his momma was old running. also rode a Rakin In The Cash that had good bone & feet, he was out of a Easy Winning Jet mare. my big horse is 17 hnds and over 1400lbs, his brother was the Pie in the Sky gelding which was 16.1, but my big boy doesnt have the best feet. hes got good bone but not the best feet. they were both out of the same mare, which has always produced a good footed babies...the big boy looks more like his daddy than any of the other horses out of the mare so I'm assuming the feet came from his daddy. I love his size, but not the feet, lol....his daddy is Royal Quick Dash/Special Effort. Im leaning towards the RQD on the smaller not so great feet, cause I had a RQD mare once and she had little bones & feet and alot of the Special Efforts have good size to them. Just things Ive noticed from some Ive had...hope that helps.

 Worst.Housekeeper.EVER.
Location: Missouri | My Judys Lineage grandson is pretty big. He's 4 this year, a shade over 16hh, and has enormous bone. I hope he fills out some more b/c he's looking a little awkward at the moment.
My Three Ohs/BA75 gelding is ginormous, and imo, one of the best built horses I've ever had. I love him for a million reasons and he's definitely easy on the eyes.

Shawne Bug and Mr Master Bug produce nice, big bone and feet.
Streakin Six lines produce good size. |

Location: Weatherford, Texas | So far the one stud line I put stock into is Mr. Eye Opener- from what I have seen (with limited research) most of his are 16 hand range, good bone, and FAST! I lucked into one a few years ago that had been matched raced and had an ankle bashed in, but it calcified and he only has 30% flexion in that ankle- but he can still clock. After I got him I was at a rodeo and three other girls were all on MEO and they were all big fast horses. Not too muscle bound so they can still be quick.
Although- I put MUCH more into nurture than nature, but almost all of the MEO I have seen will shake their head if you are not light with them. |

Location: Online | I've had 3 Phoebes Cartels, which is a son of Corona Cartel, that have excellent bone and were minimum 16 hands. They ran on the track and were the most durable and sound horses we've had, and all great minds. The were all out of different mares. The only problem is Phoebes Cartel went to Brazil which is a travesty. I would have 10 more if I could. |

Location: Where ever there's sunshine! | I have a 3 year old gelding that goes back to Beduino 3 times, once byChicks Beduino. He's 16hh barefoot and solid. He has big legs and so far great feet. Not sure if that's a bloodline you've thought about, but I'm tickled pink with him! |
