Very nice
I know you didn't ask for a critique of this, and I'm sorry if it was unwanted, but you had expressed, a couple days ago, trouble with your horse anatamy a bit, so giving suggestions to help with that

If I can make a suggestion, for next time? The body seems slightly squished. Be careful that you do not shorten things in order to "make it fit" into the image. If you run into that urge, from reaching the edge of your page, and are working digitally, just move the linework over a bit, and/or adjust the size as neccessary. An easy way to fix if you accidentally do that, is.. you see how you did the withers? Where the back meets the neck, pull that back to the edge of the withers, and put in the withers. (basically cut the line where back meets neck and the belly, -not- the shoulders or front legs, (basically seperate the back end from the front end) continue the line of the shoulders, into the withers, and attach that back end to the shoulder/withers, instead of the neck.
Other than that, I'd suggest adding a bend to the ankle joints of the lifted feet. Have you ever done that trick of ONLY bending the last joint in your finger? You have to flex the muscles in the rest of the finger to accomplish it, and it is rather uncomfortable, and very unnatural. Watch your own fingers as they bend, for a reference for bending leg joints. they curl up, not just one joint, usually, and only bend backwards under weight, or strong flexing to do so, and only so far.
