There are a lot of similarities between Washington and his horse. The legs of the two match, the horse has a paunch above the legs just like Washington, and his arm placement mimics the shape being made by the horse's head. The color of Washington's hair matches that of the horse's mane, and the white of his clothing matches that of the horse's coat.
I think the painter is trying to say that Washington is like a war-horse. Relaxed and calm when not at work, but waiting to spring into action at a moment's notice.

He's tall and lanky... with a paunch! And he has an adorable look on his face.

Maybe the portrait of Washington is real, but the horse is a representation of his spirit!
That's a cool toy.
Does it come with the detachable wooden teeth and the kung fu grip.
Except now with David Carridine the "Kung Fu" grip has a whole new conotation.
Hope all is well fluffy guy. You have been kind of quiet lately.
