How is this look achieved (edits)?

What edits were likely used to achieve this look?

Or, is there a name for it? For example, "matte effect" has a name.

Looks like it was shot with natural light and shallow depth of field with a longer focal length, and then a TON of vignetting was added (especially on that right side but also to burn down the highlights in the sky) in post. I'd probably achieve those color tones through a somewhat selective desaturation as well as dropping quite a bit of the blue in the shadows - fence, sky, her shirt and pants, etc. They may have added a little warmth back in to the image overall either through curves or color balance or selective color.

That's my guess based on looking at the photo for 5 or 10 seconds.

You don't think there was shadow lift, black crush, or desharpening?

Maybe, but my guess was that was shot on a cloudy day and they reduced more exposure than they needed to lift. If shadows were brought up, it wasn't overly done. Depending on where/when you're shooting you could get a lot of that exposure (except for the sky) in camera.

Could it have been metering for the background and underexposing it, and using flash to light the model and horse? Careful use of it might allow an exposure like this.

Poor job on the fence post in the foreground, IMHO.

Strobe would explain the primary effect that stood out to me. And now I notice the light in her eyes.
Thanks!

Look at some of Francisco Hernandez's work here on the site: LINK.

He seems to produce similar images to what you are looking at. If you agree, go to YouTube and he shows and discusses his technique.
