Hi Letina,

Welcome to the forums.

Yes, I'd agree - fast loading times, simple, easy to understand layouts.

Only confusing thing was the pedigree family trees.

A small comment from me: Make small thumbnail images of the horses in a paint package and use those on your menu pages (sale.html, mares.html etc). (At the moment you're using the full-sized images, and resizing them in HTML with the IMG WIDTH and HEIGHT tags.) Then make these thumbnails link to the full size images. This will make the page load much faster.

Overall I think the site is great!

Best wishes,
Matt

Your site is simple to navigate with good contrasting colours and images. The 'sales' page 'horsey' images took a little longer to download than i thought was comfortable, possibly the reason for this is as commented by 'Matt'. Make sure your image resolutions are no larger than 72x72 dpi.
Also, you have no Meta tags. These describe your site to search engines and they go in the header section of your pages.

Nice!!!
