bring enough food to contribute to the potluck to share with 8 people,
so that much can be had by all.
The Betting Man's Guide will be available on site and is included in the Site fees. This is a list that names the Mounted Hunters that will be used to help folks when they are bidding on their Hunter/horse during the Rider Auction. Each Hunter has a short blurb that tells something about him/her and will include some sort of amusing comment about each Rider and their horse. This would help the spectators "know" the horses and riders, so the spectators can bid on a 'rider to buy' to run the Hunt Course. If their Rider wins, then both 'owner' and Rider will get a Prize.
