Giraffe or Horse?

I made this cute horse with some giraffe patterned minky last week for a cousin's baby shower. I'm still not sure if it's a horse or a giraffe! It was a simple pattern I found at Ben Franklin. It takes about a fat quarter off a minky bolt, a few buttons, E6000 glue, yarn, a dowel, some kind of ribbon or strap for the bridle, and of course stuffing. The only problem I had with it was working around the minky stretching. Because the base of the head is turned under and gathered, it ended up not mattering that it didn't quite match.
