Gee, that sure hasn't been my experience.  I don't have all that much *Raffles breeding in my own horses, but in general have seen good to outstanding feet as the norm on most of the Skowronek-bred horses, including most of the *Raffles-bred ones.  I have more Skowronek through *Raseyn in my program, and have always felt that that was where I got nice round feet proportionate to the body size, with nice thick regular hoof walls.  If I think a family is a bit lacking in that department, that tends to be the direction I go in the next generation to improve feet.

Interesting about the feet.  If you listen to farriers that shoe a lot of Arabians, you’ll hear them cuss the Raffles get for really bad feet.  They say he had bad feet and passed it on.
