Cute Horse by a Barn Coloring Page

About this page

On a gentle grassy rise, a small horse stands in front of a red-barn-style building, looking out with a curious smile. The barn sits at the right with a curved gambrel roof, a square loft window with crossed panes and a pair of double doors marked with X braces. A winding dirt path leads from the barn doors toward the lower right of the page, dotted with oval stones. The horse's mane drapes down the left of its neck and the tail swings out on the left. Two fluffy clouds float above, and little bushes tuck in beside the barn. The scene is broad and open, with clean outlines, so there are good-sized areas for crayons. A farm setting with a friendly horse makes this a natural medium-level choice for kids who like country life.
