If you want to be a great writer, don't think about what you're going to write, just write it.
I'm a huge fan of writers block! When your brain halts, with no direction for where you should go, it gives you threads. All you have to do is pull and unravel the story you're meant to write.
First of all, the drawing is very cute. I never tried drawing any horses or animals in general, because I'm pretty awful at those kind of stuffs. haha. Anyways, I have to be pretty honest. You have a good concept but it needs to be a lot clearer and more realistic. The pencil strokes as far as I can see needs practice, it goes a little bit horizontal, vertical and diagonal. I like how you have drawn the hair, it comes out pretty smooth but could have been a bit darker like the tail. The grass needs stronger strokes. The drawing's made out of gentle stokes that some details couldn't be seen clearly if the picture's been resized or zoomed out. The hoof isn't very much given emphasis there which should be, because horses are famous for their hoofs. ^^
Overall, I like this but just as I said before, give a stronger stokes so some of the horse's parts can be stressed out. Let me know if you have any questions. ^^
There. I said "strokes" a lot of times. xD

Hey there, Butterfinger! Walker here, with a review, so I hope you don't mind :3.
And might I say, this is a lovely attempt at a horse drawing! You have some very nicely done areas on here, so I give you props for having a pretty well-rounded drawing!
But horse anatomy is hard. I'm sure you realize this after having attempted it!
First off, the tail, which you have located coming right out of the back, should be just a stitch lower. It also protudes out when flat but, in this case, you're pretty much okay in that area. The back end, which you have very nicely rounded, isn't as nicely rounded on the inner leg. It should be a little thicker as the horses haunches are powerful. Its what pushes them. So lets make it look a little more muscular!
The hooves seem to not be apart of the picture. Is that because they're shrouded with grass? If so, make the grass look thick! You have just a few etchy lines whereas the hooves could be seen easily through it.
Next, I would like to touch up on the stomach. You have the general shape down as the stomach does pull up quite quickly nearly the loin area, but you made the ribcage far too large so much so that the front legs seem to be protruding out of it. I want to see a little more defining. Use you shading to show where the muscles are located, and bone structure too!
Lastly, I would like to note up on the head and neck. The neck, though rather nicely lengthened, has a whole mess of hair flailing off the back of it. Yes horses have manes and yes these manes can get long, but you have it so that it looks as if the mane is all the same length when flowing back. That would mean that when hanging straight, the hair would be at an awkward, sharp angle.
The muzzle should be smaller. Think of a triangle when you draw it. The upper nose should be thick whilst the lower should be just visible. The eye is far too high up. There should be a strickingly large space between them and the ears whereas here you have the so close that if the ears flicked, they could hit the poor horse in the eye! That and the rounded part of the jawline should be larger! If its small like that, it makes it look like the horse has a toothache or something of that general sort!
Other than that, good attempt and I hope to see more of your work! ~Walker
