Hello All!
For the last 10 years I've been involved in building and
maintaining a site to chronicle and archive news clippings of
births, obits, marriages, and postcards, etc.. primarily of the
Welland Ontario region. It has since expanded into three
"sections" (Main, Tales, Events) each requiring their own CMS
installations.
If you are interested in exploring photos of barns and churches
all over southern Ontario and other pieces of history ..then
check out:
https://wellandhistory.ca
The S)earch feature works fairly well. Look up names, places,
dates. Even content of Comments is included.
I'll admit, that a fresher CMS design would be ideal (this *was*
innovative for its time 10 years ago afterall!), but the
original intent is primary an archive.
It is a project where the founders prefer to be known as "S & B"
Every newsclipping was cropped, resized, reshaped. That's over
10,000 now. Every post was planted and re-edited when required
- those exceed 11,000.
It runs on an older Wordpress version. I'd love to have a better
photo gallery. But it will have to do for a little while longer.
Porting to a newer WP would be *another* project!
And that's a little glipse of my world.

I am a bit disappointed, because there are lots of barn
pictures in it, but Idon't get to see horses in them :-(
Also I got scared when I used the earch bar to find "horse" and I got a recipe as a result. Thankfully, it was a recipe that used horse radish, so all is good.

I reached out to the photographer and she spotted two horses!
1. Barns 1822 centre line Madoc Oct 8 2015 #465
2. Barns 1936 Old Brook Rd near Weymss June 5 2018 #556
Just enter the 4-digit number shown after the word Barn above,
or enter the 3-digit number indicated by the # above (just the
digits, not the #)

Nice :-)
I should share some pictures of mine, if they let themselves be photographed... as soon as I pull the camera, they run towards me wanted
to play with the toy I have in my hands.
You need to give them a distraction like a like nice serving of
oats or grain in a feeder further away from you and then step
back to take some photos. Or.. if you hang around long enough
with them and do NOT touch them, they might like to just get
back to the business of grazing or looking around and leave you
alone. [?]

Distractions don't work, because once they figure out there is something out of their reach I can give to them, they start bugging me for it.
Same with just standing around until they get bored of me and return to their business. They never get bored of me :-(
I think I have some of them when they were fillies and where running around, playing. I should dig into my vault of memories.

OK... can't you view them from afar yet close enough to
photograph them? Maybe through a window? Or.. just get someone
to take a few picks while you are holding a reign off-camera?

Wow. That takes a lot a patience in a horse.

Good!
BTW.. Found more horses on the wellandhistory.ca site. Go to
the main site, then the XTRA Xtra! page, then click on the
Bancroft link. When you click on the images, you will get larger
versions.
