Beautiful. Has such an lovely, serene and mystic feeling about it. How'd you manage to re color from chestnut to gray?

Aw, thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
Re-coloring (in Photoshop). How to put it? It was the product of pure... experimentation. But I know that's not really helpful, so I think (not positive, though, I can't remember the exact steps I went through) I started out with smudging the horse.
Then I might have taken out the dodge tool and used it everywhere on the horse's body that wasn't already too light? Next I probably used the curves tool, and made it as light/white as possible without losing all of the contrast. After that, I think I just played around with Hue/Saturation.
For the dapples, I just grabbed a picture of a horse with dapples, cut out the part on the stomach where the dapples stood out the most, and overlayed that layer onto the horse layer. Then I just used a large soft brush (play with the opacity) to remove some of the dapples.
Gah, that was long, sorry. I could have written a novel on that. So many steps! xDD

It looks like a scene of a fairy tale or a dream. Light, colours...are beautiful.
