Default The Cush

So I have been stuck at Scareywood for the last week ( I say stuck not because of the track but just the drive and area) and have worked about 5 or 6 horses from 3/8ths up to 3/4 , this stuff feels so diffirent than dirt.
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.
