Racking Horse Association’s promotions committee in 1999. He has

On a date not specified in the record, Mrs. Berry asked
Roberts for advice about raising horses and farming. Roberts
advised Mrs. Berry to breed her horses with higher quality
horses. He also advised her to train more of her horses as
Tennessee walking horses. He advised her to reduce her farm
expenses and to find better ways to market her animals.
4. Operating the Farm and Horse-Breeding Activity
Mrs. Berry has managed petitioners’ farm and horse-breeding
activity since 1979. She supervises the farm’s employees and
does manual labor on the farm. Before 1995, Mrs. Berry worked
part time for Dr. Berry. She could schedule her work at the
office to accommodate her work at the farm. She worked on
petitioners’ farm and horse-breeding activity 60 to 70 hours per
week in 1995. Dr. Berry worked on the farm only occasionally.
Petitioners had one to five employees during each year from
1985 through the year in issue. The record does not state how
many employees petitioners had at any one time.
Mrs. Berry read magazines and journals about horses and took
courses and seminars on breeding at the University of Tennessee
at Murfreesboro. She learned how to artificially inseminate
broodmares. She offered this service for a flat fee.
