I have been trying to find an anime i saw in the early to mid 80's about a girl who is in a cabin in the forest, no its not Princess Mononoke. I dont remember much of the plot, and what i do remember is incredibly vague, all i really remember is what i assume is the very end, and i have a very vague recollection that it takes place after the main plot has concluded .

The girl is in a cabin in a forest, i think she had red or light brown hair. She's an important person, like a princess or something along those lines, and is in hiding. Then it cuts to a close up of the face and sholders of a shadowy figure riding on horse back through the trees, coming to kill her. He has a similar look to Vampire Hunter D, with a long sharp face with a hat. There speed lines flashing behind him in the background, i think it then cuts to a 45 degree angle shot of the head of the horse and i think it had glowing eyes, but i can't be sure. So the dark shadowy figure arives at the clearing where the girl is held up in her cabin. She is coming out of her cabin just as he arrives and a battle ensues, which leads to the magical girl opening a large larva filled crevasse in the grassy ground, into which falls the man and his horse. The last shot, from what i can recall, is of a skull sinking into the larva.

Please help me find this, I've been searching for so many years with fleeting flashes of hope that never go anywhere.

This probably isn't right, but maybe Amon Saga (1986)?  It was an OVA anime movie, and it doesn't have quite the ending you describe, but it does have a character that looks exactly like Vampire Hunter D.  The entire film can be found on YouTube (with English subtitles):
