Location: United States | I'm looking for a bloodline that is well known for putting out big solid and sound hooves. There are of course many other factors I'm looking at but this is one I can't seem to manage to find now days. Would love to hear anyone else's input on what lines are producing big solid feet! Thank you!
Oh dear, I'm hoping people are having a sense of humor! Maybe I need to clarify that I'm looking at QH Bloodlines for Breeding my mare to?

Location: In a happy place | I have been thinking about this subject lately. Good big feet pop up anywhere sometimes. I bought a colt by On A Gator out of an own daughter of Runaway Winner. My farrier says he has the best feet of any horse he has seen in many years. And really anyone that has looked at him has said the same thing. I don't think you would exactly look at this breeding and expect to have such good feet. |

This was my very first thought reading your post. Hancock lines: blue valentine, might have better luck finding a gooseberry bred horse, Harlan, a lot of your foundation lines are going to have the good feet! |

I believe it depends on which line
I have two mares Hancock bred and both have small feet |

Location: In The Land of Cotton | What does everyone consider large as far as a hoof? Size wise as 1. Yearling, 2. Two year old, 3. 3 years etc.?
And when do most people expect their horses hooves to stop growing?

Location: Texas | From my personal experience...
Our Rare Bar daughter has great feet. She is out of a daughter of The Ole Man. She's just a solid little mare.
Our JOH daughter doesn't have the best feet but by no means were they BAD. She ran until she was 19 and it wasn't her feet that slowed her down.. knees yes. She mostly rodeoed her career so no shock she has arthritis.
Reckless Dash X BA75 mare has good feet. She's running barefoot now and handling it fine.
Strawflyin Buds X Rare Form mare- not the best feet. pulls shoes and doesn't grow a lot of foot, can get heel sore. They're getting better but thats her one flaw IMO. Hers are the most like TB feet, but I have seen WAY worse feet on the polo ponies we treated than hers... so it could be a lot worse.
Sun of a Bunny colt- he has huge feet. Good bone and good foot. They are big but they aren't platter like, so thats good. I really like him and am thinking about his sire in the future as I see how this dude grows up.
Stoli X Magical Mile mare- she has good feet, no shoes. not the biggest foot but no problems with them. |

Location: Dubuque,IA | The size of horses feet has tons to do with how they are raised. Alot of the older bloodlines you mention are ranch raised horses that let there foals run out on acres and be horse. Essiantialy they are all born with the same size foot and if they are only allowed to grow upin a small lot or spend a lot of time in a stall there feet don;t have the miles to spread and develop. If you want good feet then find out the background of your horse and how much time they spent out moving around versus a small lot or stall. |

Location: United States | Great ideas and observations you guys! I was thinking the older lines like mentioned were a good place to start. How does one find a stud out of those lines that are making good barrel horses? What about today's rope and calf horses? |
