My children are very active in 4-H. I have owned horses all my life and know just how demanding they can be and with kids on top of that it is crazyness in my house. I have found a way to keep organized though.I found a cool Mead Five Star Planner that allows me to keep all of the 4-H show dates in line and it even has a notepad for extra notes and reminders. In the summer months especially there is a lot of 4-H activity so it is very hectic. Not to mention keeping track of appointments with the vet and the farrier. If you have kids or horses or both, I recommend you get organized with a planner.
