I'm giving you a 9 on this one. I love horses and this one is a beauty. I like the muscular detail you captured along with the pose and color, it is a stunning portrait of a magnificent animal. The border, to me, is overwhelming as are the people (?) in the upper right.

Pretty animal, although the angle distorts the 'elegance' of the animal a bit. Makes it look more cartoonish than natural. The desaturation of the background seems unnecassary too.

What a beautiful horse portrait!
A little more post-processing was kinda' needed to desaturate the rest along the horizon and a touch in the mane.
As a suggestion, and if you are using Photoshop, try new layer via copy, then add a warming filter (usually the default one that comes up), then while still in the layer, carefully use the eraser tool to erase back the horse. This will add a slightly warmer tone to the desaturated background.

Lovely composition and the detail is pleasant. Not sure what the colourful spotting is on the nearside neck. But 9.

Beautiful animal. Love the pose. This was cropped very well. Good luck.

Excellent color & definition but the non-descript & blown background detracts from the image overall.

good pic but blown out sky and frame distracts
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Love the horse but that halter is distracting, too big and sits too low on the head, imho. 7 with halter on, an 8 if halter off.
