    It’s in a pretty good place right now, nothing looks obviously wrong. I would compare with some references just to check some things, I know there’s not as much side to side motion on a horses head.

    There’s a little bit of a hitch in the front legs as they leave the ground, you should check your tangents around the loop point.

     I would also maybe minimize the kick out in the joint right above the hoofs. While we like to move it to get good secondary motion it usually stays pretty stiff during most horse movements.
