When you are galloping and working you dont feel the hard concusion like on a dirt track yet this stuff is only about 4 inches deep , and horses dont loose their foorting on it either, a couple of the horses I worked had no shoes on and never missed a step.
I am having a little trouble hitting my times right now , first horse I worked went to fast the first part , so the second one I worked I felt like I was going a half in 55 and I went 49 , its very deceiving how easily the horses get across the ground.

yet another reason why it will be tough to play starting out....which jocks develop the feel for it quicker than others. That is an important angle when cappin.
