Staying locally you might want to check out Essence of Dubai. Stands for 5k and seems to bring refinement (you mentioned that your mare is big...not sure if that meant only tall) We have an EoD and she is out of a blocky mare and he passed the refinement on in a good mix. She is tall, but more rangy. He might cross well and give you SS at 4x4? Plus, if you decide to sell, his numbers aren't that bad.

Ahh pembroke, you're verging into spamming territory with your relentless pimping of your "expert"... forgive me if I'm in the wrong but I think the reason for asking for a bit of advice here is to do just that.

I'm not really UP on all of the stallions in Florida... For Precarious, I like the pedigree matchup with Master Bill. But perhaps there might some soundness issues in her family which I don't know if he would correct. Maybe one of the Florida members could chime in on this.
So Run for the Roses, as fast as you can.....

If you are breeding to race, I would go for this mare with Proud and True. It's nice the pedigree obtained with this one for $2,500. I love the inbreeding to Buckpasser that you will get.

The number of Proud and True are decent.

Hi,

Take a look at Mecke.
If you have not actually seen him you should stop by Ocala Stud.
I did the other day and that dude is unbelievable
He is built like the prototypical 6'5 250 lb NFL quarterback
He is supposed to get big foals as well, great bone
