Hi there!
Just a couple things I noticed off hand:

1) The background tiled in my browser (I'm at 1024x768).  The way the
graphic's set up, it would look okay, except a lot of words overlapped onto
the 'wood' portion of the background.  Just a couple hundred white pixels
on the right side of the background image should fix that up.

2) On my browser (IE 4), the background defaults to gray.  So when I loaded
the page, it looked gray until the background image loaded.  Just a quick
bgcolor="#ffffff" in your body tag will fix that.

3) 44Kb is a little large for "rodeoshot.jpg".  You might want to trim it
down a bit.   ...or maybe not.  It didn't take too long to load for me. :-)

4) I really liked your logo graphic.  

5) You probably didn't need all that many "redbarsmall.jpg"s on the
services.html page.  I think the different items are pretty well seperated
as they are.

6) The 6 prancing horses (shorsest.gif) might be a bit much on the first
page.  You know what might be cool?  To take a seperate frame from the
animated GIF for each different link.  That way the motion of the horse is
implied but isn't actually seen.  In other words, make 6 different GIF
files from various parts of the animated GIF and use a different one for
each link.  -Just a thought.

7) Your address is on all pages.  Good!

In all, a very nice-looking site!
Please ignore my brusqueness. :-)
