YES! Please correct the apostrophes and the spelling mistakes!
(These things really put me off!)
Homepage: It should be "Faith's history", not "Faiths' "... also, "Faith's vital statistics", not "Faiths"...
Faith's history: August 2005 <u>catalogue</u>
The last year with Faith: "Shed not done a huge amount with her previous owners, and tended to rush and flatten over them": over her previous owners?!
Substitute with "over jumps"
The good bits: she has achieved 8s (8s doesn't need the apostrophe)
Her not so good bits: "if traffic goes passed too quickly, or a rattly trailer speeds passed" -- past, not passed, in both cases;
final line, noway should be no way.
The page will look much more professional once you've corrected the spelling mistakes.
Otherwise, what a fab idea and I love the scans of her score sheets!

Doesn't the apostrophe go after the S when it is something belonging to the person (horse). So Faiths' history...the history belonging to Faith. Wouldn't Faith's history imply Faith is history? Same with the vital statistics?
Catalogue - one typo, thank you!
I had a long think about the 'past/passed' thing. Isn't past as in 'in the past' and passed as in going passed?

Thats a fantastic website and the horse looks lovely but it would be good if you put your contact details on a bit bigger as i struggled to see them initially.

You only put the apostrophe after the 's' when it is a plural. For example, "the horse's feed" is the feed belonging to one horse, whilst "the horses' feed" is the feed belonging to more than one horse. So you need to put "Faith's History" as there is only one of her!

You are right about the apostrophes as far as i am aware
You change "if traffic goes passed too quickly, or a rattly trailer speeds passed" to "if traffic or a rattly trailer passes too quickly"

What a great idea for selling your horse. Never seen this done before for a private sale. I think it is excellent

I'll let everyone else argue about puncuation and spelling.
I think it looks great, a really nice layout. She looks lovely and will be a star for someone I am sure.
I also think it is a very good idea for selling and as already said I like the scanned items.
Fab!
As usual edited for rubbish spelling

No. I won't mention the apostrophes as it has been done but the word here is definitely 'past'.
You use passed for I passed an exam or I passed a couple of horses. (so to pass - I/he/she passed)
If something goes past you then you use 'past' as it is not a verb. So I went past the shop I go past the horse in front. etc.

No. 'Past' in your example ('in the past') is a noun. 'Past' in this sentence ('to go past something') is a preposition (can also be an adverb: 'walk right past').
'Passed' can only be used as a verb (past participle of 'to pass')
