My 2 cents...
They should have been closer together.
Too much contrast ie: too much black, need to lift shadows more so less 'hard' looking.

Something seems off and it may be too much contrast on the horse and model. Makes it almost look like a composite.

I agree with gschlact's comments. It's a nice image, just needs some work in post - example below. I could do more with the original RAW image, but this gives you an idea.

Heavy on the "Clarity" tool? Nice pieces in the composition though

Did you shoot RAW? If so, then there's no need to wait until next shoot. Your composition is great, the model is great, the scenery is stunning and the lighting isn't unworkable. A more even hand in the processing could make this photo sing.

The background is a bit hot and it steals focus from the subject, and the dappled light through the trees is similarly a bit too strong, but there's not much you can do about that considering the location. Furthermore, I think it's relatively well controlled, as there aren't any huge gradients or shadows across faces.

A pose where they are connected - touching - would also be a plus.

That's tough shooting in harsh light so you were smart to put her in the shade and use flash.
