Cute Horse Peeking Over a Fence Coloring Page

About this page

Peeking from behind a sturdy wooden fence, this young horse looks straight out at the viewer with wide eyes and a tilted head. The fence has two rails running between a pair of posts with round nail heads, and the horse's body and four legs show through and around it, with the tail swishing down on the right. Its mane splits into neat strands that fall on both sides of the face, and the ears point up. At the bottom, a small oval of ground holds a few grass tufts near the posts. Because the horse is seen head-on, the face is the star of the page, with a big muzzle, nostrils and a gentle smile. The wood grain on the fence adds a bit of texture. It is an easy-going medium page for kids who like farm animals and faces.
