love the mark - perfect! (except maybe the tail seems a little too much like a lion)
tagline is good but i think the main text could do with a little touch..?

It is like the horse is capable of biting its own neck. The anatomy of it is really all over the place.

Not really. Horse's necks bend pretty far. I can't find the original photo I based my sketches on, but this guy looks like he's about to chow down.

I don't think you should strive for perfect anatomy anyway, like with horses... or bulls, they don't need to be exact replicants, and while we are on the subject we really should not leave comments on others work merely out of frustration at their comments on our own logos.

Having said that it would really do me good for members to not even make comments on others logos knowing it might instigate negative comments for the sake of 'proving a point'.

Clash, great work! not quite feeling the western feel in the mark though, to be perfectly honest. Seems the horse should have more of a masculine quarter horse as apposed to more of an arabian feel.. and the outside border seems a little too bold IMO. but I knew it was from someone who knew what they where doing. Keep up your great work.

Thanks for the advice, Mike. Always appreciated.

"High Binder" is cowboy lingo for a bucking horse, which is why I went with this pose. As far as the stroke, I'll definitely take a look at that. I was actually already thinking about replacing it with a sort of rope pattern, if you know what I mean.
