the years in issue, maintained the books and records for the
carpet cleaning business.
In 1982, Mr. Dawson purchased some Arabian horses for
training and breeding. After about 4 years, he sold the horses
because it became apparent to him that this endeavor would not be
profitable.
In 1987, Mr. Dawson approached Mil Barton about the prospect
of entering into the business of breeding and training paint
horses. Mr. Barton had been actively involved in this business
for more than 40 years. He was a competition judge for the
American Quarter Horse Association for 26 years and for the
American Paint Horse Association for 20 years. Mr. Dawson, after
discussing the paint horse business with Mr. Barton, purchased
three paint horses. One was a stud colt named "Hot Twist". The
other two were brood mares named "Kate Dillon" and "Dynamic King
Bar". After the sale, Mr. Dawson continued to consult with Mr.
Barton on how to train and breed the horses.
Mr. Dawson, who was not qualified to train horses, hired Mr.
Barton in early 1988 to train Hot Twist. In 1988, Hot Twist was
entered and successful in several horse shows. From mid-1988
through 1989, Mike Van Leuven handled the training
responsibilities. Mrs. Dawson maintained books and records for
the Activity.
