Im having a hard time seeing it.Maybe if it was bigger or maybe slower.
Or even if it ran from one side of the frame to the other.The lines that
make the legs,i can see,are hard to perfect.It looks cool otherwise but 
trying to see what the legs are doin is sort of hard with small ascii.
Of course i dont think i could do any better.
may be next you can do one of a horse jumping fences,now that'd be cool.
ooooh ooh,i know,there could be a pit full of spikes on the other side
of the pit and when the horse jumps over,skwish,horse-ka-bobs.
