A friend of mine wants a horse cake for her birthday. I bought this one from a bake shop near me: http://fantes.com/images/23476cake_pans_shapes.jpg

The instructions for it have you mold the horse out of chocolate, take it out, bake the cake, trim the cake so it's flat, ice it, and then put the chocolate piece on top. You could try something like that.

I got this pic off this page: http://fantes.com/cake_pans_shapes.htm#unicorn
which also has at least one other horse pan on there. Never bought anything from this site, but thought it might give you some ideas/options.
HTH. icon_smile.gif

What about doing a FBCT of a horse over a background of sky and grass?

Something like this??

I'm making one tonight actually - how funny.
I will post when I am done...I too was struggling to find ideas for a horse cake...do a search in the gallery section and type Horse or Western and you will get some good ideas - I did!

Well my cake is almost done - the horseshoe topper isn't dry yet so I can't add it until tomorrow - hopefully it will dry in time
I'm happy with how it turned out...took a bit longer than I thought - the denim colour was not easy to achieve.
here's a pic of it almost done
