WHAT DOES THE CLUB DO WITH THE FUNDS
RAISED RUNNING THE HORSE TRIALS?

These events and membership dues are the only source of income for our Club.  An equestrian facility like this on town-owned land is unique to this area and we work very hard to maintain it.  Labor is volunteered when possible, but available time is always at a premium, especially because of other commitments of our key members.  Labor, materials and heavy equipment when needed are costly, a case in point is the addition of new footing in Ring 1 in September.  We continuously work to improve the course and keep the footing conditions at their best.

If our funds allow, substantial donations are made each year to worthy causes.  In the past, we have donated to organizations such as the West Newbury Fire Company, the West Newbury Police Association, the West Newbury Emergency Management Agency, the MSPCA at Nevins Farm, the GAR Memorial Library, Windrush Farm, the Children's Equitation Center, T.H.E. Farm, the Juvenile Diabetes Fund, the Women's Crisis Center, and the West Newbury Strays in Need Fund.  We also have a specific trails fund for those trail projects that are beyond our volunteer scope. Our library donation plan has brought many of the latest equestrian books and videos to our local library.

The WNRDC compiles the Local Equine Activities Calendars which promote equine events of all disciplines in our area.  This is done by the Club as a public service to the equestrian community.
