You can see a selection at the guardian , or you can see all of them on his website , though it doesn't have as much context.

It's funny. Some of those animals look like they were put together with spare parts--and not all of the parts came from horses. Others are quite impressive. There are two or three that just have that look in their eyes that makes you suspect they are something special. Incidentally, they seem to be taller than I suspected (I was expecting more pony-sized) with much longer legs than I anticipated. Either that or the riders are very short.
