The Horse Planner- printable digital download- total equine record book to track your riding goals, horse health records, and finances

Oh cowgirl, do you struggle to stay on track? You know, the gap between, "This year I want to really nail lead changes!", scheduling some dang lessons, and finally checking in with yourself to see how things are going (or not!)? Do you curse the heavens every time you try to remember which chemical you de-wormed with last fall? Or what exactly the vet said at that lameness evaluation?

Do you wonder if you spend this much on feed every year? Girl, we GOT you!! The Horse Planner is your one-stop record book for your horse! Ease up on the stress- it'll help you stay on track with your equestrian goals; easily and visually keep track of your horse's health records- such as vet care, farrier appointments, and the last time you de-wormed your horse. There's also a finance section for keeping track of your horse's expenses. Make a basic budget for your horse expenses, and keep track of how much you spent on hay, tack, lessons, and fly spray so you can be better prepared for those expenses when they roll around again next year!

It doesn't matter if you barrel race or ride dressage. If you're into showing or trail riding. Boarding or horses at home. If you've got one of those fabulous creatures known as equines, the Horse Planner is for YOU!

Why not an app? I've had horses for a long time, and been trying to figure out my finances and goals and such for a long time, too. I've found that for me, as much as I try, electronic solutions just have never packed the punch I wanted them to. There is something empowering about writing down your goals with your own hand. The act of putting pen to paper really translates into a feeling of ownership over the data. When I put my goals into an app I just never really felt that sense of ownership I had when I wrote them down in my own hand. And came back later to confer with myself about how things went. And that ownership is key!! It's what helps you connect in your brain that those are your goals! Yes, yours! And that makes all the difference in behavior. Same with the finances. I've tried a million apps for my money, and none of them really made a difference for me. Is is handy to know how much is in my checking account? Yes, but the electronic interface just didn't give me what I wanted out of it. Even those apps with a nice interface didn't help me see patterns, or know what I spent on lessons, or tack. And again, by doing things by hand I felt I truly understood my money and spending in a way I didn't doing things on the computer or phone. Highlighting my purchases and breaking down my spending helped me understand things and empowered me. It was my data and my life!! So, is a paper journal for everyone. Eh, maybe not. But I know it's pretty great!

Pages included in this journal:
*cover page
*GOALS- has a section for overall yearly goals, as well as breaking down quarterly what you *will* do, and a review section for what you *did* do. There are two different habit trackers to visually motivate the behaviors you track.
*HEALTH CARE- has a calendar to see at a glance what care your horse received when. Also a section for notes to write down the details from that vet appointment, or exactly what the farrier did differently at that last shoeing!
*FINANCES- each month has a calendar where you can write down when your horse expenses are due, or when you have lessons, and an area for writing down that month's specific goals. There's a basic budget worksheet for your horse expenses. I've included two so if you get paid twice a month you can easily prepare for all your costs each time you get paid. You can revisit this, too, and compare your projected with actual expenses. There's a worksheet for writing down all your memberships, subscriptions, and supplements on auto-ship so you don't forget! And a "Where did my (horse) money go?" worksheet so you can get a handle on where your spending is going when it comes to your horse! As well as an annual overview spending worksheet which is super helpful when you look back over your year and what happened and how you can better prepare for the next year.

This is a US letter size printable journal. I recommend printing it out and placing in a 3-ring binder (NOT included). You receive pages that you fill out with your own personal information. It's nice to be able to interact with pen and paper and be able to be creative and doodle while considering your horse goals for the next month or writing down how much that vet bill was!

The product pictures do not show all the pages you will receive. (I can only upload ten pictures).
