If the horse is: | ... you can value it at this amount: |
female 12 years or over | $1 |
any other horse | the * horse opening value less the * horse reduction amount (see section 70 - 65) |
(3) However, if the value worked out under subsection (2) would be less than $1, you must elect the value of $1.
