I just love palominos. Anyway, this is my first shot at a colored drawing (my mom suggested that I color it when she saw me working on it) and I have to admit I can bear to look at it without cringing. Obviously my pencils weren't the best quality but....oh well. Critique please, I want to get better at this.

I realize there are visible smudges, my apologies, I'm used to being able to erase such errors but colored pencils are a different story I've discovered. lol

I like it! The motion, as well as the colors are great! My only suggestion would be to go very slowly with colored pencils, and layer, layer, layer! It takes a while, but it's worth it!

I like it very much! But maybe you should work on your shading a little more. Even crappy colored pencils can go a long way when you know how to use them; try combining colors to create new techniques of shading, for example, shadows aren't just black and gray, they're blue and purple and green as well... these colors create more depth as well if you use them right. Find some pictures of horses and study the shadows cast on their bodies from different angles of light. =) Good luck! And nice work!
