How to make an origami Horse
Designed by Jo Nakashima (12/jul/2014 + nov/2019)
Difficulty level: complex
This model was first designed in 2014, but this is an updated version with some “bug fixes” (legs are properly locked). It is a variation of my origami Unicorn, just hiding the horn. The steps are the same until 31 minutes of the video tutorial (step 68 on the diagrams).
The biggest flaw of the old version is that the legs and layers of the body would spread open after a while. This could be solved using foil paper or the wet folding technique, but in my opinion a good design should hold the shape well even with normal paper. So, to solve this problem, I’ve made some locks on the legs similar to the hind legs of my origami Reindeer. Additionally, I rearranged some layers on the crimp fold of the neck and added some locks inside the body too.
