The texture also looks quite fine for a 'quick and rough' solution.
Stretching the neck out seems a bit odd for the stance of the horse. Are you doing that because it might animate better? Just curious.
The cheekbone is a bit square.
Progressing very nicely

The stretched pose makes it easier to get a clean texture map, and hopefully nice animation.

Yeah looks good, I agree about the legs, but you have reference so maybe its the angle or lens...

mmmm a Donkey hahahaha.
I think I'll model one of those next
.Seriously,,,If I can be....hahahaha.... the legs are in proportion to the body.
Iv'e started on the final texturing.
Still have to modify the head area, and I want to have 4 different socks on the legs. So a bit more Painting before I rig it for animation.
Mane and Tail still to be added.

Just Look at the Head in Proprtion to the body........... Long neck like a Giraffe,,,Monster sized head in proportion to body. hahahaha
But the proportions are correct to scale.
Simply a bad pose for viewing the model.... But good for modelling, texturing and adding bones.
Once I have it rigged I'll render a more realistic pic.

Added the tail & Mane.
Used PaintFX to add a bit of grass to the scene.
Added Bones (Animates OK).
I'll call it finished for the time being.
