It was interesting to see how you were originally planning a halter. I like this version best, because the lack of a halter makes the pony seem, I'm not sure how to word it, but like it could just as easily be loping around on wild terrain as it could be standing warm and snug in a barn. Plus, I think a more colorful halter would have detracted from the very natural and well blended color scheme you have going on. Really beautiful work as always!

Thanks so much for your lovely comment. I was indeed going to go with the halter for a while, and taking it off was a little tricky, but I'm glad I did it

Thanks so much I didn't think of the colours being wintery but I really like that idea now you've said it
