The only horse here in the air. Leave the ground under the fence white and the jump reads; color it and the horse lands. The folded front legs are the part worth slowing down on, because that fold is what makes a jump look like a jump rather than a horse floating. As a horse drawing to print it asks for little color and a lot of pose. The grazing horse is the opposite.
