The horses are tricky. I tried to add them but couldn't get something that
works. If you used the normal minifig horses (which I can't find in MLCAD -
Does anyone know if these exist?) then the scale would be enlarged enough to
require bigger arches - which don't exist. You would have to model the
arches with normal slopes which would degrade their appearance.
The other option is to build the horses out of normal bricks. To fit in
with the existing scale, they would have to be relatively thin and not very
high. I saw someone that created really small animals like this, but I
can't remember where. Does anyone remember?

I'm looking into adding more color now. In the pictures I have, the
sunlight fades out some of the colors. Also, it is very difficult to add
color into the curves without screwing up the white border (which i think is
necessary ). Does anyone have suggestions?
By the way, if anyone wants the .dat file for this model, I'd be happy to
email it.
