Is it still the case that events that have equestrian activities are
required to carry additional insurance? Do you, as an equestrian, have
to pay additional fees which are sent directly to Corporate?

If the answers are 'Yes' and 'No', then *that's* what is in it for
you. Certain activities, however an essential part of the Society they
are, carry inherently more risk for the organization. That risk costs,
usually in the form of insurance and/or lawyers.

We can assume that the paying members of the SCA are willing to cover
the total expense for everyone, including the many who cannot or will
not pay their share. We can charge everyone, through either membership
or non-member fees. We can require that those who incur more cost to
the Society pay a portion of that cost. We can insist that everyone
pay an equal share.

But one way or another the money has to come from somewhere.
