Finally! After months of this damn thing being firstly in my head and secondly on the sketches heap I got it done.
It didn't turn out how I expected, would of liked to use some more fancy filigree type work in it to bump up the victoriany mourning element, but I did the background too dark so it didn't work.
This was actually really hard as I suck so bad at drawing horses that it took a few months of playing around (and top advice from my boss, Cilla who is the master horse lady!) to get it to this (which is as about as right as it can be for me). The horses were orginally larger than A3, but I wanted to fit them both on, so now they are about 1/4th their original size

Anyho... A3, watercolours, sharpies and ink
