Proving again that the truth is stranger than fiction...
I’ll be picking out a specific case out of the hundreds
I’ve worked on in the past years and give you a brief
rendition of the facts and outcome. And, I may cover pertinent equine related topics.
Taking advantage of situations that have occurred to others may lead
you to say things to yourself like, “Boy I’m glad
that didn’t happen to me!” Anyway, for sheer entertainment
value, you’ll like them.

NAES BLOG - April 2020
Well, as you all know by now, the world, and especially the horse world’s been turned right on its head because our government has asked all Americans to stay home and avoid the Wuhan Flu/COVID-19. But there is some good news since horses are considered a big part of the agricultural community.
So be of good cheer, go on out and get your horse out but just stay 25 feet away from anyone else also out at the barn. That also means that are lessons are OK as well.
And while horse shows are all cancelled for now, you’ll be in great shape for the next event. Just stay away from everybody else, (Simple to do…. Right?).
Now for the very important stuff, praying to “THE BIG GUY,” may help us all get to the shows that much faster, so follow the advice below…..
All of the residents of this great nation, MUST pray as hard as you can, which by the way, has been lacking for years, because our world must get it’s “stuff” together. And, that gives us all something to do.
There, that’s better. I knew there was a smile in there!

We are in tax season. Your CPA should review section 183 of the IRS code that outlines nine items which are necessary when claiming deductions regarding your horse business.
Code number three refers to time and effort spent by the taxpayer.
Code number two examines the “The Expertise of the Taxpayer or His Advisors”.
You must document what you have learned and put into business practices throughout the year to run the horse business profitably to meet IRS requirements. |
