An 'oldie', but such a beauty :) Arabians are so incredibly elegant, and I think that in this one you've especially captured their wiry 'dryness' for some reason. Not sure if dryness is also an English horse term, but in Dutch it refers to horses who for example have those really well-defined legs where you can see all the muscles and tendons and such? And some horses are just like that in general, with little fat on their body, especially those warmbloods from more tropical places. Well, that feeling you've managed to portray very well in this piece. Like, I can almost imagine what this horse would feel like if I'd get to pet him :D Okay, that was a lot of talking about horse feelings hahaha. Oh yeah I also like his colouration! The subtle flecks look great!
