nicely done, really creative use of parts here. Its too bad you couldn't develop a rider for it, but you should definately hold on to this design. It would work great for a statue.

Especially the prancing one would make a great statue on a town square somewhere, both in a medieval or a modern setting.
Excellent work, Ebu Deyyus.

Very nice design, I'm looking to make something similar for the TTfigs.

The head is really great.

and yes it is annoying when people don't post in your thread :D

I agree with Aliencat, you need to put it in the middle of a town square! My favorite part is using the minifig leg for the snout/nose/mouth.

Hey Ebu Deyyus,
Just because people don't respond to a thread, doesn't mean they don't like your MOC. In most cases if they see something they don't like and know of a way to improve it, they will post their idea of improvement. Since you have read no ideas of improvement, you can assume that if there is someone who doesn't like it, he/she can't do it better him-/herself.
I don't think there is much to dislike about it. What could get more responses maybe is if you worked it into a MOC, like a statue on or in front of a building maybe, I think that would get more replies, simply because there is more to see. Not to say this horse isn't interesting of course, it's full of clever techniques, and really looks like a horse, which is hard to do.
I don't think being popular has much to do with it at all. During CCCVI way more MOCs are posted than usual, and in December everyone is busy with the holidays, I think those two factors have more to do with most MOC-presentation threads around this time only get a few replies.
Making titles like "WOW GUYS LOOK AT THIS" would even have the opposite response and make you come across immature or like you just want attention, rather than present a cool horse. But you probably already know this ;)

What I mean to say is don't feel bad if people don't post in your thread. It's a cool horse, and that's what matters, right?

Hey, well said, Aliencat!

About the horse: I like it! Specially the minifig-leg, as a nose. That's really creative.
You should try to make a custom fig for it, so you can join the contest!
