Starting a record book can feel like a daunting task. Good news! We have some experts in the Horse Leaders that have been through this process over the years. First thing, first. Get organized. Let's start with what you need. 4-H Record Book Level 2 https://pubs.extension.wsu.edu/4h-record-book-level-2 Permanent Record Book https://pubs.extension.wsu.edu/permanent-4-h-record-level-2 Individual Horse Record https://pubs.extension.wsu.edu/individual-horse-record Horse Management Record https://pubs.extension.wsu.edu/horse-management-record

You will have 4 calendar pages. The intent is to fill out all things you may do (use it as a calendar of potential events) and then check the ones that you participate in. Include all your 4-H events, school events, and non 4-H events that coordinate to the project you are documenting.

No. You will have one record book. Each horse is treated as Project and will need a separate section. Program Goals, Activity, Events, Costs, etc.
