Horse Edgeflow Critique
null
Hello everyone I am coming back to animation and decided to make my own model and rig. I wanted to know if i could get a critique on how the model edge flow looks so far. i want to continue to add more detail but i tend to get overwhelmed with the topology. Any help is appreciated thank you!!!

Overall shape is looking good.
I would add a face loop between the front legs to give the chest some definition. Horses have a pectoral muscle, and without a loop there it will be hard to define that shape.
Also I might try moving the pole vert on his front legs up more, or changing the way the edge loops there. Check out the bone structure of a horse; their leg doesn't end right at the body, it goes up more. Because the shoulder socket is higher, you can get a more realistic deformation when animating by moving that pole, or including a loop that goes a little higher.
Watch the size of the neck. Right now it is very slender. Depending on the breed of horse they can have a much thicker neck.
