Embroider little 'x' nostrils with black yarn.
Ears (make two in rust brown):
R1 Magic circle with 4 stitches into the loop (4)
R2 (1, INC) 2 times (6)
R3 (2, INC) 2 times (8)
R4 (3, INC) 2 times (10)

R6 Sc in each st around (12)
Flatten opening closed and sc in 6 sts through both thicknesses to close. Fold slightly in half and attach 2 rounds behind the eyes.
Mane:
Use dk brown and wrap around 3 fingers 30 times. Cut one side so you have 30 pieces of yarn about 4-5” long. Use a latch hook type process to attach the mane in a column centred on the head starting slightly behind the eyes all the way down his "back". I did 2 columns next to each other for more thickness.
That's it for the horse!
