| Dunnabeck Fall '09 Horse Trial Cancelled |
 2009 Dunnabeck Horse Trials Cancelled
The site of the Dunnabeck Horse Trials in Carbondale, IL was hit by one of the many
passing storms that running through the Midwest in May. After 100+mph winds swept
through their event site, the organizers found that the cross-country tracks were littered
with many 6-8 foot diameter trees in the gallop ways.
The organizer's would prefer not to cancel their event, but do not think it will be possible to get everything cleared in time for the event. They plan to be back and ready to go for 2010!
Dunnabeck Horse Trials had been chosen to host the 2009 Area IV Championships. The 2009 Area IV Championships will now be held at Hunter Oaks Horse Trials October 10-11.
