What the diary looks like

The cover, an empty week, the same week filled in and a notes page from the back – just as it comes out of the printer.

Diary cover: a horse photo across the whole page, with a white panel showing the name and the period
The cover: its name and the period. With a photo, it fills the whole cover and the name sits on a white panel – at the top, in the middle or at the bottom. It works without a photo too.
Empty weekly spread: three days on the left, four on the right, each with its date and lines
An empty week. Three days on the left, four on the right, each with its date and lines.
The same week filled in by hand: grooming on Monday, a hack on Tuesday, a lesson on Wednesday, rain on Friday, the first jumping lesson on Saturday
The same week seven days later: a hack, a lesson, rain on Friday and the first jumping lesson.
Notes page at the back: notes about the first show and a photo of the horse stuck in
At the back: notes pages for everything that doesn’t fit into a day.

How a week is laid out

Every spread is one week. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are on the left, Thursday to Sunday on the right – so Saturday has as much room as Monday. Every day has its date and lines to write on. What goes in is up to you: what you did together, how your horse was, what your instructor said, the weather, the hooves. Some write three words a day, some half a page once a week.

The diary starts in the month you choose and runs for three, six or twelve months. Your horse’s name is at the top of every page.

The days have no fields for medication or temperature, and there are no tables for the vet and farrier at the back – just the profile at the front with phone numbers and normal values. If you need more, the health logbook from Horse Logbook is the right one – with a cough scale, medication and temperature.
