Hi Dave & James,

I've been busy so didn't have time to answer till now.

I'm not sure what the specific rules are for depreciating horses but our controller spoke to me about this and it sounded to me like a standard package wouldn't handle it.

We are using SBT to do some things, accounts payable, accounts receivable, general ledger so we're going to contact our VAR to check it out.

I'll let you know what we find out.
