Kenzie;

I keep all my training rides in a daytimer.  I include trail conditions, 
mileage, time, heat & humidity, of course which horse I rode and a few notes, 
i.e., "he was a butthead", etc. ;-))  This stays in my tackroom. (The best 
time to record data, is over a glass of wine, while the horses dine!)

As for rides, I keep my card, put it into a "plastic sheet keeper" that fits 
into a 3 ring binder.  I also insert the ride info sheet, make a copy of my 
typewritten ride entry form. Each ride is separated by an index, all of this 
kept in a zippered 3 ring binder, into which also goes my AERC rider and 
horse info, copy of Coggins, copy of registration papers.  After completing a 
ride 2x I take the first one out, file away for further study later.  "The 
Book" stays in my tack room in my trailer.  Call me AR, but I pour over my 
old cards, re-live the ride a hundred times and extract every bit of useful 
info I can!
