Nothing too fancy about this rig, controls of varying levels of detail are spread over 3 bone layers. Most body parts are setup to bend and rotate while preserving sharp edges. I never needed FK/IK controls for this rig, so they were not added. The tail bones are setup with IK constraints, but I would often disable it for my actual animation - again, no controller just under the bone constraints tab.
Neat little horse rig, thanks!
