It shows you how to prepare a professional business plan that will attract investors when you need them, and provides information on depreciation and maximizing tax savings. Detailed charts and graphs make the accounting and taxation section so easy to understand, you'll be giving your CPA advice! A special section includes over 20 sample contracts. You'll use this book as a year-round reference.

I don't know how many times I have been asked to provide examples of contracts or forms that deal with horses. However, the matter is not so simple as just having a copy of the piece of paper someone else uses. Equine laws are not only difficult to interpret but also vary from state to state. This book is a great place to start. It contains examples of almost any kind of form necessary in the horse industry: sale, boarding, breeding, etc. and also supplies information on how to use the forms. This gives horse owners a base of knowledge and draft contracts to take to their own lawyers for review. (Description provided by Karen Rust)

The Horse is an in-depth reference for virtually all topics ranging from feeding to health care to breeding. It is used as a college text.
