broward: Become a horse rescue mission volunteer and possibly help find a missing person!
- 09/19/07 03:11 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. One article especially caught my eye. It was on a volunteer search and rescue team in Pennsylvania which is trained to work on search and rescue missions when large expanses of ground need to be covered (12 comments)
Property surrounds - is the property fenced? if so will the fence work for you? is it high enough? is it in good repair? does it have barbed wire or other dangerous things that might need to be removed? what are the neighbors like? if there are groves and/or row crops are they down-wind do they spray pesticides? are you near a (14 comments)

Bracken fern (Pteridum aquilinum) Also known as: brake fern, eagle fern ID:A perennial fern with triangular leaves that can reach two to three feet high. Grows in clumps in woodlands and moist open areas. Range: Coast to coast, except for the Mediterranean and desert climates of Southern California and the Southwest. The danger: Bracken fern contains thiaminase, which inhibits absorption of thiamin, which is vitamin B1. Thiamin is necessary to nerve function, and deficiencies can lead to neurological impairment.

Hurricane season is upon us and it is time to prepare and plan for the worst while we hope for the best. This includes a plan not only for yourself and home, but for your four legged friends as well. You might have several plans, A, B, C, and D for various strengths of storms with a variety or warning timeframes.

This may not be practical however, depending on how much warning we have, how predictable the "cone" (3 comments)

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)

broward: Horse Real Estate >> Agricultural Classification for Horse Property Owners in Florida
- 04/27/07 11:51 AM
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. One of the biggest mysteries surrounding horse properties in Florida is who, and under what circumstances, can claim an Agricultrual Classification for their horse properties, thereby greatly reducing their property taxes. The short and simple answer is that your use for the horses must be for "bona fide agricultural purposes" for commercial use. In other words, you must have the horses with the real intent to earn an income from them. Examples would be breeding, (2 comments)
