I love it! The adult looks perfect to me. I love how the hair drapes over the face. :)

For the foal though, I think maybe the joints could be a little thicker, maybe the whole leg a little thicker too, especially the front ones. And maybe the head could be a little more tucked in. And I'm not sure if it's an optical illusion or something, but the ears look a bit big to me, like they were actually selected by themselves and scaled up. Even the line weight looks heavier.

I think the top line of the Adult needs to be a little straighter ; closer to what you are showing with the foal. I dont think ive ever seen one with "that much" dip on it. Other wise they look great!

The funny thing is we already fix up and corrected the foal's ears some. The baby we used has reference had the biggest ears I have ever seen on any horse. They where MASSIVE. This is the reduced size. :D

I love it!

Being nitpicky, something about the head/neck/throatlatch connection seems a little off to me, but like I said, that's nitpicky and would probably be a very small/petty change-- if it even needs to change at all. I think it's absolutely adorable, and I plan on buying it.

(Along with the Teke which I keep obsessively watching for :)) )

Edit: I think I figured out what feels off to me about the head/neck connection. Now I just have to figure out how to best communicate it lol

If the neck were going to be changed, I like the second one that paradoxphoenix did with the head angle the same.

And, like I said, it's petty/nitpicky anyway so if there's no consensus, I'm fine :D

Well I imagine in the perfect world, these bases will be getting tack packs for them, which could mean customizable hair. I do prefer Paradoxes neck and head suggestion, but the one on the left.

In the final submission, I would prefer not to see the eye covered up. For those of us that breed dilutes/splash/tigers eye, seems like a shame to hide it.

Other than that great job (just please give me the eyes lol).

Alternative forelock suggestions:




A braid might be super cool lol

I agree about the back - looks a touch swayback almost. Might be going against the grain but I kind of like the foals outsized ears. If I had a dollar for every young critter of any species I've ever raised that had to grow into their ears I could pay off my house lol. And back when I was young and my parents were raising horses it wasn't unusual for a really good looking, well put together foal to become the most derpy looking yearling... then go back to being very well conformed. Dad's farrier bred Arabians (not sure what type, we're talking 40odd years ago) and he had the most gorgeous, could be used as a pin up of ideal Arabian foal conformation filly one year. By the time she was a yearling she was awful... dad used to tease his friend about hiding that a draft from the next farm over jumped the fence. By three, she was gorgeous again lol.

Long story short, I like slightly derpy foals that need to grow into their conformation.

Now I need to save up for *another* breed...

I agree that the top line on the adult should be straighter

I also think the head/neck connection almost seems pulled in or scrunched even with the mane covering everything. Changing the head and neck positioning also might make it easier to have the forelock positioned where it’s not covering the eye. Personally, I like the right side drawing that paradoxphoenix did

Draft foals always look a little wonky and disproportionate. Same thing happens with large dog breeds especially with their paw size. Different body parts supersize faster than others lol

Thanks, everyone we have all the feedback we need on this one!
