Horses

Horses and ponies appear in portraits, stables, flower gardens and open landscapes. Choose the broad shapes of the sunrise scene or spend more time on braided manes, sunflower centers, wooden fences and pond reflections.

Flowing mane or a stable scene?

Choose between hair-and-leaf curves and extra farm details.

A horse stands in the doorway of a stable with both wooden doors open.

Open stable doors

The horse stands between hay bales, a bucket and a pitchfork. Wood grain and straw add smaller marks to color.

Follow the mane's curves

Print the original line drawing linked below. The numbered areas match the color key and steps; use the colored example as a starting point, then choose your own colors if you prefer.

Digital coloring example

Sandy horse with flowing brown mane and tail between green leafy stems and white flowers.
A digital color suggestion, not a photograph of a printed result. Open the original line drawing to print and try your own colors.
  • 1. Sandy horse
  • 2. Brown mane and tail
  • 3. Green leaves and grass
  1. Color the face, ears, neck, body and legs sandy tan; leave all four hooves and eye highlights white.
  2. Color every mane and tail strand brown, following its curve without covering the dividing lines.
  3. Color the surrounding leaves, stems and grass green. Keep all four flowers and the background white.

The mane should remain separate from the neck, and the tail from the legs. These colors do not identify a breed.
