Easy Horse Coloring Book

About this book

The book shows a horse standing square to the front, a horse walking with one front leg lifted, a horse grazing a tuft of grass and a young horse trotting with its mane flying. Then a horse looks back over its own rump, a horse waits beside a water bucket and a horse lowers its head to sniff a big daisy. In the second half a horse in a halter steps over a low wooden pole, a horse wears a wreath of flowers around its chest, a horse looks at an apple on the ground, a horse lifts one front hoof as if waving and the last stands on a small hill under a cloud. The bodies are large open shapes with only a few lines for muscles, so children can color the coat in one color and then pick a different one for the mane and tail.
