Okay, NOT being a pro photographer myself, I have found the best results on equine photography come from full size headshots, or full size shots of the animal. Make the best use of available space within your FOV, and make sure you take multiple photos of each shot... each one will be slightly different, giving you a choice on the best photo to present.

I've attached a couple of photos I've taken to give you some sort of idea what I'm talking about, but remember, they are NOT professional. You don't say what sort of camera you are using, but these have come from my Canon EOS 400D with an EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II lens.
