Papa at Longview horse park, 2002

Papa didn't really like this arena much.  None of the walking horses did since they put down woodchip mulch to keep the dust under control....it interferes with the backend swing of the walkers.  A good walker likes to kick dirt up in front of himself with his back feet; but at least they all have the same handicap on this track.
