Grazing Horse Coloring Page

About this page

With its head dropped low at the right, a horse grazes on one thick tuft of grass. The long neck slopes down from the shoulders, and the mane lies over the crest of the neck in a series of wavy bands. The rounded body fills the center of the page, supported by four thin legs with simple, flat-bottomed hooves, and the tail hangs along the left edge in a long swoosh. Two tiny grass sprigs sit on the ground near the left hooves, and the big tuft at the right sits just under the nose. There is no background at all, only white space. Everything is drawn with strong, steady lines and few small details, so there are no tiny spaces to fuss over. This relaxed, easy page is a good match for kids who are building confidence with larger shapes.
