Just another pic I made for my fanfic here:

A close up of Applejack while waving her mane in the wind. I agree her mane hair might be too short and her face seems off because I always draw the eyes way too small :\ But it was more about the hair and one of two different techniques to draw it.

This one is the “blurred” version, I used my paper pencil to smoothen the hair making the lines blend in over so you don’t see the strands of hair.
