Horse with a Saddle Blanket Coloring Page

About this page

A horse stands at rest on an oval patch of ground, angled so its head faces the viewer while the body points to the right. A plain, bordered blanket sits over its back with a strap running down under the belly. The mane is long and wavy and falls down the left side of the neck, and the tail hangs in a thick sheaf at the right. At the lower left sit a round bush, a flat rock, and a few small flowers, with tufts of grass and tiny stones scattered across the ground. The blanket is deliberately left blank, so it is easy to invent a pattern of your own. Light curved lines indicate the ribs and leg joints without crowding the figure. A relaxed pose and a clear structure make it a comfortable medium-level page for teens who want a standing horse with room to design a saddle cloth.
