I've had horses slip here during a particularly icy spell one winter. Specifically Elska was sore for a few days. I'm sorry, I just wouldn't consider slapping on studs and going for a ride in those circumstances. And I don't know anyone around here that would. It just isn't done. I've got two race horse trainers living right next to me and they train in all kinds of weather, everything except ice. Wanda
