Excellent way to show DoF. Try taking out the sky and it makes it more interesting - then it looks like railroad tracks, but suspended in the air!
Excellent composition, exposure and rendering.

The general composition here is not interesting, it shows a habit, but doesn't really have much of a compelling story to tell or get any emotional reaction from me. That said, I like the colors and exposure, the light is nice a diffused and gives everything a nice soft cast that enhances the details.

I think that the habit of eating grass (maybe that is the habit here) is obscured by the crop. not much habit in this photo, sorry

Nice pony but not a habit. Riding is a hobby not a habit. I'll grant that someone can have a habit of taking a daily ride but then why not show someone riding? This is really stretching the boundaries of the guidelines. Astheticallly, the background is very blah. There is very little visual contrast between the color of the pony and the dirt.

If it is some habit of the pony's you are depicting (eating dirt?) it isn't very clear from this shot because its muzzle is falling out of the frame. I know equines can have some very bad habits but this really isn't showing it. I upped this by a point after reevaluating it but I'm still sceptical about it meeting the challenge.
