I like it...

So I am leaving my heart out here to bleed on the internet for you. It is right here and right now and I really want to know what you think...honestly, but not brutally....I love this photo. What do you think?
I took five images. The first two are horizontal but the stupid horses wouldn't do anything but put their butts towards me. Then I walked along the fence, pat the white horse on the nose and told him that he should be a good boy, I then walked away. I took two vertical shots, but still, the composition was all wrong. My final shot, and I was really cold at this point, was this one that I like the most. The white horse stood still and I got the fence post in an agreeable position, I think. I dunno know...honestly, it is a simple shot w/ a simple composition....
This photo was taken on the Blue Ridge Parkway today at about 4:15 pm near Green Hill Rd in Blowing Rock, North Carolina.
