Horse Coloring Pages
This set has all kinds of horses to color. There is a baby horse with its mom, wild horses running in the desert and a wooden rocking horse.
Little kids can start with the mom and baby horse or the rocking horse. The carousel horse and the carriage are the busiest horse coloring pages, so they are better for older kids. If you need help, our printing guide shows how to print them. Your child may also like our dog coloring pages.

Real Horse Colors You Can Use
Real horses come in just a few colors. Here are the most common ones.
- Bay. A brown body with a black mane and tail.
- Chestnut. Red-brown all over, even the mane.
- Palomino. A golden body with a cream mane and tail.
- Gray. A light gray or almost white body.
- Pinto. Big white patches mixed with brown or black.
How to Color a Saddle and Ribbon
The saddle and the straps around a horse's head are made of leather, so any shade of brown works well. The buckles are silver. The prize ribbon on the horse show page can be any bright color you like. The carousel horse is the one to go wild with, because real carousel horses are painted in lots of bright colors.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a baby horse?
Yes. The first page shows a baby horse, called a foal, standing nose to nose with its mom.
Can horses really sleep standing up?
Yes. Horses can lock their legs so they do not fall over, and they often nap standing up. For a deep sleep, they lie down flat.
What is the man with the horseshoe doing?
He is called a farrier. He fits new metal shoes on a horse's feet to keep its hooves safe, a bit like shoes for people.
Which horse page takes the longest?
The carousel horse, the carriage in the street and the horse show winner. They are full of small shapes, so they are best for older kids and adults.
