Happy, or sad? That is the question xD See, this manip. could go either way...
The horse could be happy, just surveying his surroundings, standing on a cliff looking pretty, with a sense of freedom.

Or he could be getting ready to jump off the cliff into the raging rapids below because he's depressed.

So, feel free to interpret it how you like! x]

Okay, so I realized just now that my most recent manip. was also of a horse on a cliff. Uhm... But they look completely different... I like cliffs, I guess xD And I like horses facing to the left? Lmao.

Technicalities: Blended two backgrounds together, smudged the horse, cut it out.

Then I drew the mane and tail and the horn (yeah, the horn sucks, but it was my first one, okay? D: ) Haha. But I'm actually quite happy with how the hair came out, which is pretty rare!

Put the horse on the background, played around with the hooves to try and get them to blend in with the water. (Yes, I realize that the hind left foot looks fugly and messed up. But just ignore it for right now, I might go back and fix it later xD)

Finally did some color adjustments, and voila!
