EQ Journals
We’re really excited about an entirely new product line for BLD – our EQ Journals!!
The journals were inspired by a notebook I kept for my horse Mario. It was my go-to place for documenting all of his important records and health data, but was also a scrapbook with notes and pictures about our shows, information on his previous owners, and cool info I found about his pedigree. I designed our EQ Journals with this dual purpose in mind – record keeping while also journaling and scrapbooking. We know that everyone has their own method. Our journals are perfect for printing and completing by hand. Cut and paste your favorite pictures (I prefer double-sided tape) and hand-write in your notes.
The journals are also interactive PDFs, meaning you can complete the journal in your preferred PDF reader software. Add text and pictures directly in the PDF file and print pages as needed, when you’re ready. Or – do any combination of filling in by hand or completing in the PDF. They are super flexible and meant to adapt to your approach.
Be sure to also check out the Journal Page on our blog at the BLD Tack Room. We'll be updating it with all kinds of journal tips, tricks, more info, and videos. Click here to check it out -> BLD Tack Room
Journals are available as downloadable PDF files. Click here to purchase one today.
