For a first pass its looking pretty good, I'd have to do some horse research to really give you some detailed critiques, but I would recommend looking up Edward Muybridge's work, he did some excellent studies on motion. Here's a link to one of his photos

actually i follow this pdf .... but m not a hard core of it... actually when i was doin the horse walk then i was always follow this Edward Muybridge's book , its really awsom, but this time when i done this galop...i followed a book called " timing of animation " by harold whitaker and john halas.... where i found the horse ref pretty easy to follow....
but actually i forgot abt this Edward Muybridge book.. mmm and ya the image u send seems to be good.. thanx ... ok i vil hav a study again 4m this book also...
but still plzz comment and let me know wheres m rong and wat to be done , to make it good
