You know funnily I also have my anthro mares: Ximena, Lyubov, Ottavia, and Dzeneta on a omnivore diet too, always portrayed them as such.

An omnivorous diet actually makes sense given the context that equines can and will turn omnivorous in some circumstances, and they appear to become more aggressive if they do.

My sister once had a Palomino stallion that LOVED to snack on rabbits, feral cats and the occasional stolen hotdog off the picnic table. Thought nothing munching down the dogs kibble while the dog looked at the horse with that "You greedy PIG!" look. Then again, the horse as a foal was literally raised by 6 dogs my sister had after the mare died of Colic 6 weeks after birth.

It was weird watching a stallion, sniffing bases of trees and lifting his leg against them! Especially after a dog had pee'd there.

Reminds me of this book: http://www.lrgaf.org/deadly_equines.htm

That's a col book...I'mma hafta read it if I can find it...

Of course this whole thing gotme thinking of "Ricky the carnivorous Pony" from the movie Honky tonk highway...That I can find NO clips of the horse chasing the kids...I figured that would be out there every where...

I like how you did it, Rabbi.
Looks like you put a lot of thought into this, and it shows.

I was talking to a friend about my little dragon, his people have flame breath, but I decided to use a different origin for the flame, not methane like a couple writers use.
I have my dragons having a gland on each side of their mouth, inside, so when they blow out and consciously use the flame, two different fluids combine with the breath to ignite.
I got the idea from watching a documentary about the German ME-163 "Komet" rocket fighter.
Bombadier Beetles have a similar system in their heinies.

There’s also phosphine.

Well that explains why Red is always a bit pissy.

She's a MUTANT!

Excellent Retroactive Evolution. I used something similar describing anthropomorphic Dogs' paws years ago; and I wrote a bit about Equine 'hands' here.

I notice where you put the ear canal holes. Good plan! :)

Horses eating meat?! Impossible! Preposterous! Outrageous! Against all regulations!

Real life, it is easier for horse to eat meat than for cats to eat veggies. Veggies are the more difficult foodstuff.

IRL warhorses were trained to bite out a soldiers neck in a battle, pretty long set of cold chisel front teeth!

Our pony eats the dog's dog food out of his dish if she comes inside the front room, (miniature pony) she does not know it is made out of horse meat, you got to be vigilant she will snatch a mouthful if you are not paying attention - she is housebroken ;learned faster than the dogs too ...and horses are supposed to be less intelligent than dogs!

Have you heard of mini horse guides for the blind? It takes longer to train them, but they can serve 30 years.

Yeesh! I thought warhorses were just supposed to be mounts, not attack animals! Gruesomeness!

Also, MiniPony eating dogfood made from horsemeat... Soylent Green, Equestria edition! XD

Finally, I thought horses couldn't be housebroken. I thought they went wherever they wanted to. I found that out on the highway. I mean, it made sense, since they couldn't really communicate to the driver that they had to go, but I still learned several things at that point. 1: They will poo in horse trailers. 2: Horse trailer doors will not contain poo. 3: Do not follow a horse trailer. 4: Do NOT hit the windshield wipers!

Sugar cubes probably will make Red hyper.

Very interesting. Shows that there's a lot of thought in doing this right. It won't do -me- any good, I can barely draw a circle, but getting some of this available for other artists is a worthwhile project.

Tail location. That one is all over the map at times.

good lil tut

Did you transpose the facial muscles of a human and a horse together? did you build the braincase larger as well to accommodate a larger brain? Did you change the neck bones to accommodate the slightly longer skull to seem equine but have binocular vision, and hold the head at an erect angle?

What else to draw up how about the proportion of the arms to the legs and how to do fingernails, or how you put a thumb on a horse!?
Drawing humans are 7 heads, herculean is eight heads, Mine is 9 heads tall. How many heads are Red Shetland?

I elongated the forearms, a human has shorter forearms than upper arms. (anatomy fact). I also elongated the hands slightly.
When did you do all this interpolation of equine and human? (my copyright was 1974 but was for a comic book character race. I decided on building an RPG in 1982).

ha ^_^

Good info...

That is very awesome! And usefull! You should make a "How to" book.

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/124151/ and http://www.furaffinity.net/view/124150/, and http://www.furaffinity.net/view/111966/ and http://www.furaffinity.net/view/111965/ and http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1025114/ to name a few. I guess I should do an anthro version of horsies too! but I did this one for an Anhes contest that I did not know was going to be rigged. I followed the rules and did what was required but Anhes broke his own rules and judged other artists using their best pieces!

Anyway, it shows the shortened skull I use on my horsies.
