Ok. Here are some changes I'm considering to stop the 'falling' look.... although I do want a sort of 'leaning' preparing to charge attitude.. I'd of course love feedback! morgen@one-horse.net Back to the other pics: click here

Here I've swung the leg forward from the elbow only..

Here I've swung the leg forward from the point of shoulder...

Before/current

Here I've swung the leg BACK from the knee, and was considering this in conjunction with the below change too (bringing the elbow OUT a bit)...

Before/current

Here the elbow comes out a bit & although from this angle it might look like 'paddling' it actually would be straighter... this is the change I'm leaning towards the most as I've found numerous walking pics of various horses from the 3/4 angle more like this... so wadda tink? :)

 

Before/current

Here is a combination of 2 of the above which would work well with the more outward arc of the hoof shown above.. thanks guys! I'm liking this one! :)
