This one, is closer to being minimalistic than "Lost Love" but still has to much split focus. The second "foot" (hoof? lol) further in the background creates a dual focus making one look back and forth between the two. It also creates a strange and even queer, negative shape that creates quite an interesting image. What would have worked really well with this image is if you'd been able either capture the foot in the foreground while the horse had raised the background foot/hoof(?) or if you could find a way to edit out the background one.
BUT! There's another way this could have been managed REALLY well. And I must admit, I do it quite often. You can crop the image so that the part of the image with the rear foot is no longer in the image. This will clear up qualms with the negative space. It also means far less tricky business on your behalf in regards to working with the animal to suit your needs, or editing to create something that wasn't there in the first place. And furthermore it would work really well with this image as the edge of the foreground foot would enter at roughly the middle of the photograph creating a really nice ballanced feel, object on the left, texture (texture being the grass) on the right.
Remember:
Not every good photo needs to be everything that was captured by the camera.
When you see something you want to take a photo of... and it inspired an incredible emotive aspect and you want to capture it on camera, do you really need all the surrounding features? Or would you prefer to just contain what it was you wanted to work with?
Of course, I understand in this case you may have wanted both hooves. Which in that case, this then works for you.

Wow, it's magical. ;O I would write a critique if I had a premium membership, but I even if I did there probably isn't much I could write here. I am usually a picky person when it comes to photos, but this one just has no faults as far as I'm concerned.
