“O’Brien provides solid advice in many horse–related areas.” -- Western Horseman

Review

"O'Brien has achieved the near-impossible, making finances interesting."  —American Quarter Horse Journal


"Fantastic information about taxes and the pros and cons of running your horse operation as a business vs. as a hobby."  —Equestrian Network Magazine

From the Publisher
Most horse owners don't have unlimited disposable income, and, unfortunately, equine-related financial decisions are often driven by their passion rather than sound, long-range planning. Here, the author explains how this potentially disastrous scenario can be avoided with the appropriate preparation. Horse Economics helps illustrate a complete financial picture for the horse owner, first by determining the true costs of horse ownership, and then incorporating these added expenses into a household budget. Chapters include information on managing credit, debt, retirement, and investment, as well as an extensive examination of purchasing, owning, maintaining, and selling horse property. The book also includes helpful worksheets for calculating net worth, cash flow, and more.

Great Read5
I really have enjoyed this book. It not only has tons of helpful information like spreadsheets and graphs but its also entertaining to read. I was expecting a dull repetative book but really I've been thrilled that I've purchased it! Highly recommended.
