Finally, a proper reference sheet! I chose to keep things as simple as possible, sticking to flat colors and only two views. If you'd like to see a more detailed, "shiny" color reference, take a peek at: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5087991
Please let me know if you have any trouble reading the text OR if you'd like more information. :D

Suuuuper tall. He's a big, fancy dressage pony who is full of love and awesomeness. :D I only paid $500 for him, since he was malnourished when I found him. Nice horse, well bred, registered with excellent bloodlines and a solid foundation in dressage training... just got the short end of the stick after a previous owner went through a divorce and passed him on to a friend of hers. I got SO lucky on that one!
It does take many years and any horse, regardless of breed or type, can be taught at least the basics of dressage. When you've been bred for dressage since 1732, however, things tend to be just a touch easier. Warmbloods are the consummate professional when it comes to that sort of thing.
That is a LOT of generations. Whole genome DNA sequencing will be down to about $1,000 within a decade. I'm looking forward to finding out what genetic differences there are between horses bred for dressage and those bred for ordinary pleasure riding.
A substantial part of the intelligence difference between other primates and humans appears to be due to one mutated gene. (It controls brain convolutions and wiring and other things as well.) Someday, someone will put that gene into a horse. The furrys are coming, probably first in Japan and China in the form of enhanced dogs as companions and helpers for elderly humans in those societies where they are both rapidly becoming an inverted age pyramid.

I just don't like hoof-fingers in any of their forms. I'm a very sensitive, dexterous person and I can't possibly imagine losing a large chunk of my ability to touch and feel. I also think they look very coarse and awkward, particularly on a female character. I am also a rather short person, standing only 5'3", and would feel very uncomfortable portraying the anthropomorphic version of myself as being a towering Amazon.
