I have had our website up for a while and have been working on it off and on. Its finally set up where I am happy with it overall so I am wondering if you all could take a look and let me know what you think of it. Thanks in advance.

Nice and easy to read.

The pictures of the horses are beautiful and easy to look at and bright.

I always wish when people listed their horses for sale they put their birthdate on but that is just me.
 
Very nice - and I see you have some very versatile horses too! I like how you show the action shots next to the conformation shots. Good information provided too. I may have to look into the requirements for scout badges.

Thanks to both of you.

Zipper - Are you talking about their full birthday? Because I have the year and month up and it would be easy to do the exact day, too.

targetsmom - Thanks for noticing the pictures. I wanted to show the horses well and use a different pose.

I had a look at your source code page and its pretty bare. You need to get in there meta descriptions, tags etc so that search engines will pick you up. I would also use more keywords in descriptions etc. I would also change the page titles to include your farm name. For example right now if I go to your stallions page the top button says "the studs" I would change that to say "Stallion of XYZ farm"

You always want your name in that tab.

Heres your source code. Notice how meta description and meta keywords are empty

If you are continuing to breed full size horses I would like there to be a full size horse section and a seperate miniature horse/shetland section.

Other farms have done this and it channels your buyers into the appropriate areas. JMHO
 
Thank you both for your suggestions. I do not breed the big horses, they are just for fun and pleasure.
