Breed pages have been added to the Dragon Driving Horses for Sale website. It was thought that the search facility was suitable for finding a particular breed of horse on Dragon Driving. Then one day I was looking up Shire Horses and the search brought up all adverts that mentioned Derbyshire, Yorkshire, etc.
The breed pages only shows pure bred horses, this is the same philosophy as other pages like the Driving Horses page only showing horses and ponies that actual drive or have been driven in the past.
BDS Hereford has a new site and a new domain name. bdshereford.co.uk
The new site will enable the Herefordshire Area Commissioner and her assistants to easily update the with news, events, gallery’s and information for the carriage driving members.
I have converted the British Driving Society West Wales website to WordPress so that the BDS Area commissioner and her assistants can add Events, News, Galleries, Information etc. I have kept the original design created by Lester Dagge, Dagge Design and built a WordPress theme that closely matches his layout. The theme is responsive so that resizes to fit on mobile devices.
I have improved the search facility on Dragon Driving. You can now search the large number of equestrian adverts by a number of categories eg price bracket or size bracket. The results can also be ordered by price, size or date. The main improvement is the ability to see adverts from a particular area. Multiple areas can be selected by pressing Ctrl and selecting another area from the list.
