The Henry County (Illinois) training was canceled due to very wet ground at
the training site. North central Illinois has had an unusual amount of cold
wet weather all summer. If the training were to be held, horses would tear
up the ground unnecessarily. Soil in this part of the country holds water
and does not dry out fast, especially when the weather is cooler.
