My drawing looks funny with the shadow line across her face, doesn't it? My fashion illustrator background has really come in  handy with this one. I wanted you to see the photo I am referencing for this piece, so you can see that I changed her arm and decided to leave out the reins. The reason for this is that my next painting in the series is the same girl from the backside of this same pose, but I don't want it to look too much like it. Also, I like to work from same size images. It's much faster for drawing if I don't have to worry about enlarging from a small photo.
