She is very pretty. Good luck with your breeding and let us know how it goes!
I always liked Rolls Royce back in the day.
I did look at the picture of her but is was very small so it was hard to assess.
But from what I see, I would breed her to a more “compact” stallion, that can hopefully drop the height at least 1 hand.
She looks very long, and as a result a bit weak in the loin, with a weak topline. A horse of her type could be very hard to put together for collected work, especially if she has inherited the big movement and gaits, so hopefully you can improve that.
I would suggest a “type” like my Dutch stallion Boleem, that you can see on the link below my sig. line. He is available via frozen and I know you don’t want to use that, but if you look at the video it might give you an idea of this type of stallion that might be a good match for your mare.
Good luck. BIG girl! My biggest horse was 18.3 but was never bred. You have a lot to consider here for sure.
How about UB40? He is only 16.2 and very refined, gorgeous, and has winning get here and in Europe. Here is the excerpt from the ISF webpage. I am a huge fan of his
“UB40 is a long-lined, modern stallion. He has a lot of character, talent and brilliance. He is an excellent choice for old-fashioned types or heavy mares. UB40 will bring good leg technique, suppleness and a beautiful head and eye. He is also very good for quiet mares that need some “blood,” or Thoroughbred mares with good temperaments.”

Funny you say this…and it’s true. “Bo” had Ladykiller xx as a grandsire sire side and Ladykiller xx as his great grandsire on the dam side. Clearly that blood is refining and adds a more forward-thinker in the get for the older, heavier big wb mares (which, btw, I still love…;)).
