Preston and I have not been able to show for about 2 years now.  We have had a lot of issues moving to a new state.  I had issues finding a good farrier (who trims their feet), and since Preston has a clubby foot, this is really important.  We have also had saddle fitting issues.  I had a saddle custom made for him when I bought him, but I had used it on so many horses that it became too wide and pressed down on his withers.  It was a custom made saddle, so no saddle fitter in the area would touch it.
