I'm from Texas, and worked in a dairy when I was a kid, where I used a horse every day to bring in the cows. I have been around horses much of my life. Working horses like those polo ponies are not the sensitive bundle of nerves city people imagine. That plane could have crashed on his back, and that horse would have likely bucked a couple of times and moved away, thinking it was a bird. That plane couldn't have done more than cut that horse with the prop, even if it had hit him square between the eyes. And the plane was insured, anyway.
Yes, I suppose I agree that the "developers" can do what they want with their property that our homes paid for, even to the point of planting their hobbies in the middle of the Villages and exiling Villagers from using it.
I just don't understand the logic of alienating their benefactors over something so trivial.

Judging by this site in general....I thought most Villagers would be more receptive to an occasional ‘toy plane crash’ every now and then. But sadly, TV management sees things differently. Plenty of open spaces in Sumter County. While inconvenient, I’m sure you have options....one, maybe have joint flying sessions with your competing club in Ocala
