"We give a ton of money back

"We give a ton of money back to them", give me a break, they buy a few bags of ice from the store in town owned by someone from out of town. They bring their own caterer, and the hay they buy "locally" is from Turner which is an hour away from Andover. Each individual pays a large fee to camp each night, and then the club in turn gives a measly $500 donation to the towns rec committee. They don't even pay to the use the field. Do you know the damage 150 people, 100 horses, and a slew of trucks and trailers do the field, what's more do you know the damage 100 horses does to the trails that other groups have worked so hard to maintain does? Yeah, real great for the town
