clearthinkingone OFFLINE Master Posts: 1208 Thank you received: 4 Karma: 2	Most likely how you shoe everyday would be a pleasure fit. However, If Mr. Pethick ends up judging, it is more important to ask him what he thinks a pleasure fit it. I would describe it as more of a C fit or a tad bigger by AFA standards.
