Thanks for the review. I think I have addressed everything you mentioned, except one point where I replied above. Let me know if there is anything I missed or anything further you see. Dana boomer (talk) 11:54, 13 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It's looking good. I have made one suggestion above. Your first image represents a somewhat poor example of the breed doesn't it, what with its size, white muzzle and blaze (or isn't that a blaze?) Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:25, 13 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
(talk page stalker)That horse in the lead image has only a star and a snip; pretty big ones and they are kind of "dribbling" but they don't connect, maybe a bit onthe flashy side for the registry, but legal. He's also got decent conformation and you can see his head and expression. I looked at what else is out there at Commons, and most of the other images not already used in the article are either poor quality exposure and/or horses that are quite dirty, unkempt, and look kind of crappy. File:Dales Pony Mare & Foal at the Dales Pony Society Breed Show.jpg is the only other image that is remotely suitable for the lead, and IMHO it has the problem of the ribbon covering the horse's eyes, plus it's got a distracting background and the foal is cute, but also covers up the mare. And the foal has a big star on its forehead anyway. Dana can do as she sees fit here, as this is her GA, but thought I'd pop by on behalf of being another member of WikiProject Equine and say that I think it's OK. (FYI, check out horse markings for more info). Montanabw(talk)22:23, 13 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yup, I was going to say the same thing about the lead images coloration - it's not a blaze or a white muzzle, just a (slightly oversized) star and snip. Not sure what the issue is with size? It's hard to tell with no size references, but the horse could definitely be 14-14.2 hands. And the rest of the images on Commons are quite poor, for the various reasons that Montanabw described above. Dana boomer (talk) 00:03, 14 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know my "star and snip" from my "blaze" and it was a passing comment on the image rather than a problem. The image I like is the shaggy pony on the fells, but it is not really suited to be a lead image. I'll have another read through the article shortly.
