I contemplated not posting this, because I recognize my many anatomy errors. However, this was the image that lit the fire under me to create my own horse character. In turn, horses have become my passion and inspiration for art.
Not to mention, Appaloosas are amazing! I only wish more had full flowing tails!

The anatomy isn't as bad as you think...for example, you drew pasterns. Can't tell you how many artists leave out entire sections of the legs! Really all I see is a lack of withers (which can be chalked up to a conformation flaw) and a lack of the muscling that most stock-type horses usually have (distinctly Arabian-type in body and form, actually) but still very, VERY good, I actually REALLY like this!!! :)
I wish they had flowy manes/tails more often too, but alas... ;)

Ah I see the pasterns left out of pictures a lot as well! I think the whole section from pastern to hooves is really difficult to draw. I still get hung up there often. My hooves especially didn't improve until maybe a year and a half ago. I really can't wait to get the rest of my horse pictures up!
