How to make a horse out of paper in origami technique?

Origami is a popular art now for the folding of various pieces of paper from ancient Japan. To create a horse, we need only a sheet of A4 paper and scissors.

1. At the beginning of the work we need to make a square from a rectangular sheet of paper: to do this, bend one of the corners diagonally, and then cut off the excess with scissors.
2. Unfold the paper, and then roll on another diagonal to get another line. Unfold.
3. Then fold the sheet in half along the horizontal line and unfold.

Fold the vertical line in half and unfold. As a result, we should have a paper square with clearly marked lines.

4. Fold the sheet first along a diagonal line, then the sides should be bent over the diagonal fold and hidden inside the workpiece to form a diamond.
5. Both sides of the upper diamond should be bent to the center. Then bend to the middle and upper triangle of the figure.
6. Unfold the top diamond and cut the top sheet from the bottom edge to the horizontal fold in the center with scissors.
7. To the top, bend the resulting triangles after the cut, forming two identical rhombuses.
8. Each diamond should be folded horizontally in half to the middle.
9. Then turn the workpiece over to the other side.
10. With the upper rhombus, repeat steps 5-8.
11. Turn the horse's artwork out of paper 180 degrees and bend the triangle in the central part with the corner up.
12. Pull and move the edges of the figure so that you can find a small square marked with lines.
13. Bend the square horizontally in half and fold its sides to the center. This will be the torso of our future origami horse made of paper. Smooth out the folds of the figure.
14. We will work on the "limbs" of the horse. Bend the upper right triangle aside so that the underside of the part forms a horizontal line. Expand, and along the planned fold lines, bend the corners inward.
15. The upper left triangle slightly bend.
16. Expand and bend the corners inward along the lines.
17. It remains to bend the very tip of the head inward, so that the pretty face of our horse is not so sharp.
