This educational website is a virtual museum dedicated to the horse in all its inspiration, mythology, application, suffrage and history. The collection it displays is for the major part, privately owned, with the intention that one day the collection can be handed over to a physical Museum of the Horse, UK.
Like all good museums, its intention is to educate both children and adults alike in the role of the horse in our society and around the world. We intend to disseminate information on a wide range of its chosen subjects. There will also be an archive, poetry section and a travel section.
We intend to look at the history of the horse with well-researched projects. Equine health will also be a chosen subject. The museum will provide links to other educational and equestrian websites, collections, information and organizations. This website is designed with young and the young at heart in mind with the addition of a wonderful cartoon horse called, FERGUS. Fergus has great wit and knowledge and will be, over time, divulging aspects of his ingenuity and inspiration to amuse our readers.
The museum will copyright all its research and general information.
Navigation of the Museum
The museum is simple to navigate. There are generally two navigation bars - the vertical one on the left is the main one and this will guide you through the major sections of the museum. The second horizontal one appears when the section requires subdivision of the information - the analogy is a "room" in a physical museum.
The Collection is by far the largest part of the museum so has a further subdivision to allow for the exhibits to be viewed easily. Simply click on an exhibit thumb nail to see a larger photograph and textual details of the exhibit. To return to the "room" level, click on the "up" button on the top left near the Museum of the Horse logo.
To easy the navigation, there are two buttons in the upper right of each page. These are level (context) aware buttons and will allow "next" and "previous" functions to occur. As an example, at the exhibit level, clicking on "next" will go the next exhibit. Clicking at the section level will go to the next section.
