Fingers crossed. I'm not one for post processing, but I've recently found burn and dodge! Heaven! I love how those tools work. This will be the most processed photo I have submitted as a challenge entry.
I don't have the amazing luxury to owning a horse, but there is a ranch near my hometown that I instantly thought of for this challenge. I took this picture from the other side of a fence as you can see in the photo.
I'm looking forward to seeing the other dpc'ers photos!

I still love my photo!
I know the crop basically killed my score, but one's and two's?
My own personal brown ribbon! Too bad, but someone had to come in 116th place... ha!
unfortunately there are a couple of 'things' to improve (in my mind). while the composition is not bad at all, your choice of crop is a little too tight. You cropped off parts of the ears. While you tried to get the right eye into focus, the rest of the face is out of focus. A deeper DOF (smaller aperture value) would help here. The exposure is dead on. You did not lose any deatils in the whites. There are still some details visible.
