               Dr. Hillman has been involved with horses for 40 years.  He             
          has owned horses since 1982, when he purchased two Morgan horses,            
          Pal Joey and Lady Arrow.  A Morgan is a very even-tempered breed             
          that is quite versatile, suitable for riding, jumping, or draft              
          purposes.  Morgans live approximately 30 years.                              
               In 1987 or 1988, Dr. Hillman was involved in a prior horse-             
          breeding activity, which was abandoned after 3 years because it              
          was unprofitable.                                                            
               During the years 1991 through 1996, petitioners owned five              
          horses, Riskybiznis, Ben Hur, Chicardo, Ashley, and Pal Joey, but            
          only two of the horses were consistently claimed as part of                  
          petitioners’ show horse activity during the period; namely,                  
          Riskybiznis, claimed for every year, and Ben Hur, claimed for                
          every year starting in 1992 when petitioners acquired him.                   
          Chicardo, although purchased in 1985 and sold on June 1, 1995,               
          was claimed only in 1994 and 1995.  Ashley, acquired in 1984 and
