Walter and I got some much-needed groundwork lessons courtesy of excellent trainer and equine consultant Steve Barrett this morning. Made a definite improvement in Walter's manners and our relationship. Thank you Steve!
Bernice, LA used to be a booming city, a warehousing center. Now it's a smaller town and all the warehouses sit empty and deteriorating, a surreal sight.

On the way through Bernice could not resist stopping at "Doc's Fine Chocolate & Fudge." If it's not famous yet it should be! The BEST fudge and the nicest people. They donated some delectable chocolate and peach fudge to the ride, yay - thank you Doc's! Walter tried some and liked it too.

| Familiar sight astride Sir Walter - snack time |
Late this afternoon just when Walter told me he was done for the day, as I was leading him and contemplating a dry camp in the forest, a truck pulled up and D'Arcy Stevens stepped out, asking where we were headed and would we like a place to put up for the night? So with rain predicted, Walter is safe in a warm stall with turnout and I'm at the gracious farm home of Mr. D'Arcy and wife Patricia, and their daughter Anna.
Walter loves his new booties, by the way. And they actually fit, mule hooves and all.
