Impact
To be fair, the art style and the color, along with the message, seems very nice and smooth. It leaves an adequate impact which I very much like.
However, the shading, snout, and the snow is flawed. First of all, the shading on the character seems a bit flat. Instead, why not put a type of shade that correlates to the character, such as a type of tan.
Also, the snout is a bit off because of the too rectangular shape. It looks too much like a box rather a mare's snout, which is inappropriate in a way for the gender.
Lastly, the snow that is over the pony makes the pony a bit of a strain to see. I suggest to dim out the snow a bit to show more attention towards the pony.

Thanks! I knew there was something wrong with that snout xD
i know the shading looks a bit strange, but I made it that way cause in a blizzard, there isn't one point the light is coming from, and it is instead being reflected from everywhere.
although it dose look a bit strange.

I'm just gonna critique this in a comment because I don't like how deviant art does the actual critique thing... okay
Overall this piece looks very good. The front leg looks oddly bent. Usually with horses/ponies whatever you want to call them have their legs bent a little more down and the other way. From this point of view, the back leg looks wide compared to everything else. I don't know if the white streaks in the hair are a part of the design but if they are there to add a hair texture effect I suggest lightening the value of it. Finally, the shading it as if looks out of place and you used black to shade. When adding shading there should be a point where the light is coming from and shaded as if the light is hitting the horse. Shading with black is something that a lot of people do but to make a piece better try to shade with a dark shade of a colour. Maybe a dark blue or brown would better suit this picture. When adding a dark colour as shading instead of a black, it adds more emotion in the picture and makes the character seem more natural.
If there is any background information that I didn't know, extra things you think I should touch upon, or anything else just tell me.

Oh, I actually used dark green to shade xD
it dose look like black. kind of an odd choice, I guess.
also, I didn't know directly where the light was coming from, because if you have ever been in a snowstorm, you will realize the light is coming form everywhere because of the could and snow reflecting the light. It didn't turn out nearly as well as i wanted :I
