Possibly \'good-tempered\' (as in no vices etc), referring to the horse as a whole - not just its head. Applicable also to Jack Russells and Shetland ponies.

\'good-natured\' whether from breeding/stock/ancestry or otherwise

Görel\'s answer also thoroughly possible I would guess – good posture, well-postured more likely though?

\'well-proportioned\' (many Google hits for Jack Russells and Shetland ponies)

\'well-composed\'
