palm beach: Become a horse rescue mission volunteer and possibly help find a missing person! - 09/19/07 10:11 AM
I read my most recent copy of John Lyons' magazine Perfect Horse with the normal level of excitement and enthusiasm. (when I can ignore the ridiculous amount of Wrangler jeans brand placement). Although not trained in natural horsemanship, I am very eager to learn and just LOVE the philosophy of working WITH your horse rather than controlling your horse through fear, control or other punishment.

palm beach: Horse Real Estate >> Possible Tax Strategies for Folks Selling Horse Properties - 05/13/07 05:48 PM
Tax Strategies for Horse Property Sellers
Many, if not most of us, know about the capital gains savings that homeowners can benefit from when selling their primary residence. If the homeowner has occupied the residence for at least two of the previous five yeas, they can exclude up to $250,000 in capital gains from the profit of the sale for single persons or $500,000 for married persons. This does NOT mean that you must OWN the home for five years, just live in it for at least two of the previous five years. This also does NOT mean that the … (3 comments)

AGRICULTURAL CLASSIFICATION
DISCLAIMER: your tax attorney and lawyer should be consulted for any actual applications, the info below is merely additional resources to use in planning.
