Really beautiful! You got the tail perfectly, and the ribbon is an amazing touch. I love the scene and the colors you have chosen, and I must say that mane and tail are simply breathtaking and even have the feeling that they are slick from the moisture of the ocean.

Here is what I see wrong though/things you could improve on. See how there is sunset lighting on the waves, and some orange light falls on the areas facing the light source (which is low)? You would still see some of that on the horse, especially on the back legs where the light source is directly reflecting from the water so try adding some orange tint to those legs and then darkening the parts that would be in shadow because the back leg that is facing us is much to bright. Since the scene is at sunset the front of the horse would be much darker, like the face and the main torso and most of the horses back leg. The same orange-hued light would also fall on the horse's back (barely), and have a faint outline around around the places you would imagine the light to be hitting the subject. This includes the tail nearest to the water, since the light source is strong there it would shine through the strands so those would also appear to have an orange tint to it.

Next is the waves. See how their is movement in the water by the back legs, that would cause some splash/breakage in the water so you could either add splashes or take out the part of the water that the horses feet would be blocking. The water also seems pretty deep so I think you would need the horse appearing to be deeper in the water.

Other than that, the colors are beautiful and the text is a nice touch. The highlights in the mane and tail are also excellently done. The highlights just under the belly are perfect and just the kind you need to add to the rest of the areas I have pointed out, only slightly stronger.

Overall, amazing job and a wonderful piece!

I suggest adding little splashes at the bottom of the horses legs, he may not be moving, but it looks like the water is.
This is really awesome though^^
