Printable Horse Coloring Pages for Kids and Preschoolers

A few flowers and grass tufts sit under the hooves. The body is a large open shape for a chunky crayon, while the mane and tail have enough strands to keep older kids busy with colored pencils. Brown, black or gray suit the coat, and the mane can turn bright. Real horses gallop at around 25 to 30 miles per hour. The page suits ages 4 and up.

A leafy tree rises behind them, and daisies and grass tufts fill the ground. The foal has shorter legs and a fluffier tail, which makes it easy to tell apart from the mother. Kids can color the pair in matching browns or give the foal a lighter coat. The tree has a big cloud of leaves to fill with greens. The page suits ages 4 to 8, and it works well for a mother and baby animal theme.

A few grass tufts mark the ground. The girl and pony are both large, so the saddle and bridle are easy to reach with a marker. Kids can pick a coat color for the pony and a favorite color for the helmet. It suits a riding lesson or a horse-camp theme, and ages 5 and up.

A halter wraps around the nose and cheek, and the big eye has lashes and a shiny highlight. Fine lines on the face show the shape of the muzzle and the nostril. This is the most detailed horse page in the set, because the braid and halter give many small spots to color. Kids around 7 and up can use fine-tip markers or colored pencils. Chestnut brown and black both look rich, and the ribbons can be any bright colors.

Wood planks and ceiling beams fill the background, so kids can use warm browns for the walls and a different shade for the horse. The horse takes up most of the page, with a flowing mane and a long tail. Hay is a closed shape that looks good in golden yellow. The horseshoe can be gray or silver. The page suits ages 5 and up and fits a farm or barn theme.

There is no rider, so the whole picture is about the horse in mid-air. The stripes on the rails are a good place for two or three bright colors in a repeating pattern, and the coat can be any horse color. Show jumping is a real sport in which horses clear a course of rails like these.

Holding the hand flat is the safe way to feed a horse, and the page shows it. The horse has a flowing mane, a long tail and four clear hooves, while the girl wears boots and a layered top. Kids can color the apple red or green, the horse any coat color and the girl's clothes in bright shades. The page suits ages 5 and up.

The outlines are thick and the shapes are large, with four simple legs and round hooves, so this is one of the easiest horse pages for toddlers and preschoolers. Kids can color the horse brown, white or any bright color they like, then add yellow centers to the daisies. It makes a good first horse page for ages 2 to 5, and a sweet one for a pony party.

Small clouds drift across the top of the page, and flowers and grass tufts grow along the ground. The fence rails are long, simple shapes that kids can color in brown or gray. The horse is one big shape that can be any coat color, from chestnut to white to a bright pink. With big shapes and clear outlines, the page works well for ages 3 to 7 and for a farm or countryside theme.

Flowers grow in the foreground, and the fence rails cross behind the horse. Because the body shape is more lifelike than a cartoon, this page appeals to kids who like horses and want to color them in natural shades such as chestnut, bay or dapple gray. The mane gives older kids a chance to add strands with colored pencils.
