New Websites

Postby xfactor fan » Tue Aug 11, 2009 10:15 am

Just thought I'd mention a great new website FoalTrack

http://www.foaltrack.com

This is a free site where you can post pictures of your horses. Currently up is the entire Saratoga Fasig-Tipton catalog. Horses are tracked by name and sire and dam. Clicking on the parents will bring up other horses by that parent. So if you want to see what the latest batch of Dynaformers look like you can. There's a comment field where other information can be added. I'd sure love to see sales prices added, and then we can track price verse race earnings.

Well designed, and the software is great. Free too. This could be a great resource.

I'm guessing that as the sales yearlings get named, they can be updated and entered into the main part of the website.

This could be a great resource for breeders on this board, give you a chance to post photos of your stallions, mares and foals.

The second new website is the Wikipedia Horse Pedigree site. Not so good. Who ever did the web design didn't build enough contrast into the background and text--brown background, tan text. So it is very difficult to read. Also the default seems to be AQHA, so there are a few TB's that are now Quarter Horses.

Not a bad idea, but the site needs some more work to be functional.
