crediting capital account is not correct for this. credit should be to the asset account. regarding debiting p/l, technically correct but debiting the accountwoould be more correct.

Horse in a non appreciable asset and you should not have kept it under fixed assets. Anyhow, if you have done it then for accounting entries Mr Philip has given correct answer but from income tax point of view the loss for death of horse shall not be considered. So you can credit horse account and debit your capital account for loss of horse. For loss on sale of cart, it is a capital loss. If you have claimed depreciation then it is a short term loss or otherwise you have to claim in P & L but no credit will be allowed for income tax purpose and the loss will be added in your income.

"But from income tax point of view the loss for death of horse shall not be considered" I do not agree with the statement of Mr.Agarwal, since the same needs to be considered under section 36(1)(vi). If i am wrong pls correct me.
Considering this, the entry I have given is correct under IT Act and Accounting practice.
