Technically this would be considered a "Spanish Greeting," there's another name for it that I can't recall at the moment, since she's standing square in back (if slightly behind herself) and not actually walking forward.
Her back is a little dropped as the hip is tilted downward, this is mostly due to the fact that she's standing behind herself rather than underneath. It makes her appear a little croup-high and takes away from the roundness that should be seen in a classically trained horse. Also watch the placement of the saddle. Comparing the saddle seat to where her withers come underneath it makes it appear that it might be sitting on her back rather than slightly above it (there should be about an inch or so between the saddle and the horse's spine, the weight is ideally spread along the panels on either side of the horse's spine rather than on the spine itself).
I realize that I'm more critiquing the stance of the horse in the reference images than your actual work, but I think it'll help sharpen your eye a bit so you can select images to work from in a more educated manner, and even take images that are not quite the ideal you want and tweak them into it.
She's a lovely looking mare, I love the color on her.
