This is a really nice shot, the collection of the horse from the rear to the head is a gorgeous line, though I can't say his ears are too perky at this moment.
If I may suggest, you can show more motion in these kinds of shots if you make your shutter speed a little slower (larger fraction ie. 1/30 sec instead of 1/250 sec), that way the legs would blur more due to the sensors inside the camera being exposed to the light for a longer period of time. Another neat technique you may want to try is called panning, it's were you'd use a slower shutter speed but move with the subject as you take the picture, making the subject be in focus and the background be streaky, as if it were moving. A smaller aperture setting (larger in numerical value ie. 5.6 F instead of 3.3 F) would aslo make the horse's body and head a little more focussed, or if you used a bigger aperature (smaller numerical value) the back ground would be blurred out more making the horse stand out sharper.
Overall it's still a great shot, I know how hard it is to be in the right place at the right time to capture this kind of movement.
