basic horse genetics page gets a facelift and educational videos

When I started this site there were limits on displaying photos and other graphics. Now with faster computers and more memory available than ever before adding more photos and video has become standard practice! With that in mind I thought I'd give the basic horse genetics page a bit of a facelift! It's more than cosmetic though since there are now helpful videos to help you to understand and remember many of the basic principles of horse genetics. Hope you enjoy the new page!
