First off, this left me breathless. The mane and tail are brilliant, the background gorgeous. I love how it looks like the horse is meant to be there, in that place. You know how some manipulations have like, a unicorn in the middle of an ocean? It does not really fit, but with this it is amazing. I would only change one thing, the breath out of the horses nose would be in a heart shape. But, I love how it is fading away. The mane and tail look like they are meant to be on the horse, which is great. Just amazing, Caitie, as always. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/h…" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart"/>
