Dorothy I love your art work! The piece was absolutely gorgeous! I wouldn't be to critical on your coloring, I think it turned out great. If it was the texture you're worried about, all art needs texture. If it is the coloring on Augury, don't worry about it. A golden dun on a horse will always vary, especially if it's metallic (golden). But if you don't like it, you may think of lightening the mane, or throwing highlights. The dorsal stripe on a dun will some times make the hair two different colors. Also, you may want to add zebra markings on the knees.
But personally, I think it is a great drawing. If you want some RL examples for colors, feel free to email me.
