Calm Horse Standing Coloring Page

About this page

This page shows a single horse standing square to the front, looking directly at you. The head, with two upright ears, a long forelock, two big eyes and a rounded muzzle with nostrils, takes up the top of the page. Below it the chest, a pair of straight front legs and a pair of hind legs are all visible, and the tail hangs behind on the left in a long, wavy line. The mane falls along the left side of the neck. A few short strokes of grass sit under the hooves and nothing else is on the page. The lines are thick and clean, and each area is large and simple, so the horse is easy to color without going outside the edges. It is an easy page designed for young kids who are just learning to color animals.
