How would you cast this?

Hi there, I've bought the Easy Composites starter silicone/polyurethane kit, but am looking for advice on how to cast this to enable best results. I'm pretty new to this and would prefer to create a once piece mould and zig zag cut it at a seam to release, but the horse is made of china, and I don't want to break off its legs as it's the only one I have and I'm trying to create four replicas for a model carousel.

If I were to do a one piece mould, where would the seam go? Where would the air vent and pouring hole go? 

Advice most gratefully received.
