Very Helpful, 2007-03-19
This book became a very helpful resource to not only me but my accountant. He did not
understand the horse business and this helped answer some of his questions about my
business. It saved both of us time and money.

Very handy. Buy your accountant a copy!, 2006-03-16
This has been helpful for my husband and me in planning our business, and we purchased a copy for our accountant, since very few really understand the nuances of the horse business.

Official Guide for tax cheats, 2005-12-29
This book is a love it or hate it guide to auditing horse activities. That's why I had to go middle of the road on the review. I believe it is mistakently marketed to legitimate horse stables, breeding farms, training barns and businesses who want to assure themselves that they won't fail an audit. However, if you ARE indeed a legitimate business, this guide probably won't tell you anything you don't already know. This guide's merit is mostly for backyard or recreational horse owners who are attempting to pass their hobbies off as a "business," or those who list their personal horses as a business expense to attempt some extra tax savings. That being said, you know what category you fall into. If your primary business is horses, whether it be breeding, teaching, training, transporting, etc., don't waste your time or money on this one. If however, you are a retiree who would like to try to pass off your 3 backyard nags that you occasionally breed as a "business" read away. And let me know what jail is like in a couple of years =-)
