I don't expect this photo to do well since I simply tried to find a photo i had already taken that might show texture. I didnt have time to take a photo explicitly for this challenge.

Nice try but the shot doesn't work for me. If the fence was the texture the animal is too distracting and if the animal is your texture then the fence is too distracting. No clear definition of what your subject is because of the theme.
Having this shot from behind the fence really doesn't work for me. I think you chose a great subject (and the top of his head seems to have plenty of spiky texture to work with) but needed to approach this slightly differently.
This image could be improved with some added lighting on the mini horse or even just getting a close up shot of the fence where it connects with the hair of the horse behind it.
A good image unfortunately the fence breaks up all the interesting things going on with the horse. As a texture image it just misses the mark. The author should revist this sans fence for a future challenge.
