I've searched, and still am..for any tutorials out there. If you have any, or any ideas, i'd love to hear them!

See lots of inspirational photos... from ones laying down to ones standing and ones sitting up.  Thinking of sitting up would be the easiest to try to duplicate...

Please list any hints - thanks !!

Ahttp://cakecentral.com/b/tutorial/how-to-make-a-fondant-unicorn-cake-topper Here is a tutorial for a fondant unicorn. Perhaps it will give you some ideas that you can translate into a cake. Also, if you google horse cake tutorial, there are a few for flat face cakes.

Krazy Kool Cakes has a great tutorial to make a my little pony figure.  I think they are on sale for the next few days too!
