Those traveling with horse trailers are very concerned about the safety just attempting to get to Ionia.The hazardous conditions on the grounds themselves are another major concern.The mounted judges,handlers and scouts would be susceptable to serious injury.The same holds true for the judges and handlers in the Walking stakes.The predicted low is 14 degrees Saturday night.The ground will be frozen and enhance the chance of injury to dogs pads and horses hoofs let alone our brittle bodies..The safety of our people, horses and dogs is more important than attempting to run this trial.I hope to have a make up date later this Spring if there is enough interest.
