Cute Horse at a Garden Gate Coloring Page

About this page

Stepping forward toward the viewer, a small horse walks through the open gap of a low garden gate. Both gate halves are swung back, drawn at an angle with vertical slats, small hinges and a round ball finial on each post. Large flowers with rounded petals and a ringed center climb up beside the gate on both sides, three stacked on the left and a similar group on the right, each backed by big pointed leaves. The ground in front is a short patch of grass with scattered tufts. The horse has a wavy mane that falls to the left, a bright eye and a gentle smile, and its tail swishes at the left side. The big flowers frame the horse like a doorway, which makes the picture feel welcoming. It suits kids who like flowers and animals at a medium level of detail.
