Can someone point that reason out please? (I have one guess, but I'm curious what you guys think)

This is a really interesting piece showing great technical skill. The way you have merged the back with the icicles is really nice and works for the horse.
I think the main thing that detracts from this image is the composition and lighting. There's a lack of contrast and the horse feels washed out and flat. The icicle tail also seems to blend into the background of the image.
I actually really love the pose of the horse and icicles in this piece it shows off a lot of skill and talent how you've blended them in. I don't think changing the icicles in the tail to be more curved would fix this image instead I think it needs to go through a background and lighting review.

I'd be leaning towards a background similar to this. Something that catches the eye but plain enough to not drag the viewer's eye away from the horse. I'd put the background through a levels adjustment to darken the shadows and midtones. Then I'd make the icicles on the horse back glow by brushing a soft white brush over them on a new layer then set to softlight or overlay. Ice and snow reflect light differently than normal objects and in some cases can catch and increase light.
I'd increase the contrast over all on the horse as you lose the detail between the legs. Personally I'd also create a clipping mask layer overall on the horse and and in black and white paint out where i want the general shadows and highlights to go. With the horse in the image I'd make the head and back white reaching down to the curve of the chest and then blacken the rest. Blur this layer and set it to soft light with dropped opacity of around 40% (whatever you think looks best).
Then by adding some hard rim highlights I think you'd have a really eye popping image. If the horse still seems lost to the background perhaps blur the background slightly?
It's a really nice piece and I think you could really glow up this image and not just give up on it. :D Great job overall!

Could I get some critique on this? I'm particularly struggling with the hooves and am thinking of maybe just trying a different background.

Critique? The reference was a White unicorn in a magical but fitting surrounding with snow blanketing everything and medium wispy hair

Thank you so much for the detailed explanation!
I was quiet sad before but now I'm fired up to make it better, so I will get right into the rework :D

The thing that stands out to me at a first glance is that the horse blends into the background too much. It makes it difficult to see the horse which is the focal point of the image. Try and select a background that offers more contrast to the horse and it will stand out better.

The hooves appear to be green/blue? You want them to be a colour that seems more natural. A pinkish beige is best for a grey/white horse.

The horse also doesn't have a shadow. This will help it fit into the background. The lighting matches the back ground but washes the horse out too much.


Keep up the hard work and you will improve :D
