They look great! I love horses. I think I might have the same problem with the colors!!?? My machine doesn't always give me an accurate color to use even thought I have chosen the type of thread such as Maderia that is suggested for the design. Is that the same problem that you are having? What I do is print out the color chart and picture for the design so I know what part of the design that I am embroidering - works great especially if you want to change any colors.
