| Has anyone run there? Thoughts on the format, ground, number running an hour?
Thanks! |

Location: NE Texas | Nice pen and every time I have been there it's been run efficiently. Nice big warm up area, long alley, plenty of parking. My only complaint is that it can be dark in there during the day if it's really bright out, but that's always the case running from outside directly inside. |

Location: NE Texas | Just to add to what others have said - took my mare a bit to get used to the cattle/chickens in the entry and sometimes the back door (behind the 3rd barrel) is open so it can be a bit distracting/blinding - it's a bigger pattern for an indoor so that's a plus. Ground can get deep, but they do drag often. Overall - a nice place to go and they are really supportive of the barrel community. |

Interesting you say that about the ground, I've always thought it was a little shallow, and not deep enough.

Hmmm... well, it was really deep this past 5D race a couple of weeks ago (several comments about it and I was setting up the barrels for exhibitions). Got really deep, esp around the 1st and 3rd. |

| I ran there on Tuesday. I didn't feel it was so much deep, which I equivalate with heavy. More shifty, I thought the pen seemed like it could get really really fast in there with lots of water on the pen.
Thought it was a great pen and so well set up. Loved it and can't wait to go back again. |

When will you be back there? I'm going to the race there on the 26th
I saw Fallon Taylor run baby flo when she was first seasoning her.. 15.4.. I believe it's the arena record. Crazy fast |
