Horse Health Records?

How do you all keep your horse health records? One site mentioned an index card system, this sounds like a do-able solution. Anyone do it?

Is there any reasonably priced software for keeping horse health/breeding records available? Or farm animal health records? I'd like one that has a notification system for me. Is there such a thing?

Anyone have an electronic horse health/breeding record form template they could email me? I found some .pdfs from Farnam and downloaded them but have to re-create them in Word or Excel.

TIA...

3 Ring binder System. Copies made of coggins and placed in the truck. Good old fashioned calender to keep track of appointments

Old fashioned hard copy works best for me.

I use a 5 part folder. Inside left is copies of current things. To the rite of that is vaccination history, next page is dental history, and lab results, and the last section is misc. But that is for one horse, and it works for me.

I made up a simple excel file. Inoculations and teeth at the top, dates along the side, check blocks to show what was done. The paper copies of farrier and vet go in a file folder. I keep the file on my Palm so it's always handy. For several horses you could make a tab for each one and copy the sheet. All appointments go in my Palm so I guess that is my system! : )
