I of course had to rein up, Chris, if only to see what a "Pongo" was.
Super composition. This large animal could have dwarfed the girl and overwhelmed the piece. I like the sense of the inverted pyramid and the way the physical contact between the girl and horse conveys the nature of the relationship between them. The girl is portrayed with a confident presence that I've seen so often in young adults who have become comfortable with horses. Nice touch using blue in the shadow side of the horse's white head (and elsewhere), not unlike the color you might use for shadows on snow.
