HORSE PROJECT FINANCES It is likely that you spent money on your 4-H project this year. This section will help you add up what it cost to complete your project. This section is where you can keep track of what materials, supplies, and equipment you purchased or used for your project and what it cost to use. Feel free to add more copies of these pages if necessary. Expenses are divided into four categories: 1. Tack & equipment expenses 2. Board, feed & bedding expenses 3. Health/medical expenses (including veterinarian, farrier, deworming, etc.) 4. Miscellaneous expenses (such as meetings, clinics, lessons, shows, transportation)

Net Project Cost or Profit If your project earned more than it cost, then your project made a profit. But this is not likely so don’t worry if your project did not make money! Although a business aims to earn a profit, a 4-H project is meant for learning. The important point to learn is that most activities have costs. Therefore, you must be careful to spend money wisely. More likely, you spent more on your 4-H horse project than you earned from it. Therefore, “expenses” minus “income” is the total (or “net”) cost of your project.
