First off, this left me breathless. The mane and tail are brilliant, the background gorgeous. I love how it looks like the horse is meant to be there, in that place. You know how some manipulations have like, a unicorn in the middle of an ocean? It does not really fit, but with this it is amazing. I would only change one thing, the breath out of the horses nose would be in a heart shape. But, I love how it is fading away. The mane and tail look like they are meant to be on the horse, which is great. Just amazing, Caitie, as always. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/h… " width="15" height="13" alt="

Wow! I absolutely love this! I love your long mane/tail, I fail at long hair.

Haha.
~shiverLINGERSforever made it a point that the horse must have "really long hair". Glad I've succeeded in your eyes!

Yep! I personally love long hair too. I think it adds a gracefulness to the picture.
