I agree about the logo. I asked the owner and she says that's the only copy she knows of, but surely the logo designer would have given her a vector image? I've already had to remove artefacts in GIMP.
When you say menus do you mean the divs? Also is there an easy way to force the footer to the bottom of the page?

So you used tables instead of a list?!
That's just temporary, I'd already put that there before I asked.
The owners are on holiday at the moment so I can't contact them, but the fact that they created it themselves makes me think they might not like that suggestion. I thought maybe slowly phasing in a new design piecemeal? 
Well now you've tidied the code up. It'll be easy as hell to style..
Not sure you can really say they have a design already
Touché.
Regarding the code that I've created, does it conform to the typical standards? It validates properly at least.
So for every image I should specify the width and height in the css file then? Is it important to specify the width and height if an image is being displayed at native resolution? And if a website scales to the resolution of the browser won't that result in people with say 1024x768 monitors being served larger image file sizes than necessary?
I already know quite a bit of html, css, js, jsp, the website I linked to a few posts ago was hand coded, the difficulty for me is creating a nice design, most of the stuff I've learnt at uni has really focused on the back end, with the most basic of front end design.
At the moment given the small amount of content on the website I was thinking of something like this. Yes, I know there's a typo.

What else does one use for tabular data?
How do you decide on a good colour scheme? I thought that utilising horse colours could be appropriate for such a website.
Eg,
black
white
grulla
roan
grey
dun
chestnut
palomino
bay
Maybe an interesting coat pattern for background that isn't too busy?
Obviously contrast is important but well contrasting colours can still look horrible together. How do you figure out which colours from the palette to pick and use where?

I suppose corner rounding isn't a huge deal, (not enough to necessitate all that extra code anyway ), this is how the index page looks at the moment.
