Re: [RC] [RC] Raffles breeding - Dawn Carrie

Our farrier was always raving about the incredibly nice feet our Raffles gelding (HH Rafazon) had.  They were hard, with thick hoofwalls, and had a beautiful cup to them.

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.

My old mare is very heavily Raffles bred and looks just like him.  She was speedy when she was younger, but mainly she's just one tough cookie and puts up with anything.  Never been lame in the 12 years I've been her person except once or twice from something obvious like getting kicked in the chest (and that only lasted a couple of days and required no treatment). Went through colic surgery and lost 8 feet of her large colon and started distance riding the following year.  Been chugging along ever since.  Did her first 50 miler last fall at age 22.   She also has amazingly tough feet that stay shapely and just need gentle rasping periodically. Wish I could clone those feet. That's my one-rat study.
