Okay so I like the fact you repaint all the horses, it's your own style and I honestly think it looks good.
however, I would definitely try adding more shadows/lighting on the horse. Don't be afraid to go in with the darker colours! Especially under the head, neck, legs etc. the muscle detailing on the horses is fine, and quite well done. But shadowing/lighting is one thing that sticks out for me.
you could add those in different ways! Either go in and paint them as you did, or duplicate the horse layer, darken it then erase the parts that don't need shadow. This is also how I do my lighting.
Secondly, grounding. I add a slight shadow onto the horses hoof and the floor on a separate layers, gives the illusion that the horse is on the ground. (I see you've done this on some of them)

Theyre the only two things that stick out to me.

dont be discouraged! Art is just trial and error at the end of the day. :)

if that didn't make sense I'm sorry LOL, but if you need further help don't hesitate to PM me :)

Thank you! I really appreciate that. It's been pretty discouraging lately, but I think I'll keep trying
