Easy Horse Drawings
8 free drawings in PDF, to color online or to copy by hand.
A horse is the drawing that separates children who copy from children who look: the legs bend twice, the neck carries the whole weight, and getting either wrong shows immediately. So this collection starts with a horse sitting down like a toy, where none of that applies, and ends with one at real proportions and a mane laid down strand by strand.
Horse drawings to print and color
These horse drawings run from a round little horse sitting down to a grazing pose drawn at real proportions. Each prints free as a coloring page, works on screen if you would rather not print, and comes with steps for drawing it by hand.
For the youngest
The cute horse sits rather than stands, so there are no legs to place, and the horse head skips the body altogether. The baby horse has outlines thick enough that a marker cannot close it up.
Horses doing something
The jumping horse is clearing a fence with all four legs off the ground, the grazing horse has its head down in the grass, and the horse and rider puts a child in a helmet on its back.
Not a real horse at all
The carousel horse is mounted on a striped pole with a star on top, and nothing on it has to be a horse color, which is the point of it.
The long one
The realistic horse trades cartoon roundness for real proportions and a mane drawn strand by strand. Give it an evening and a pencil.
Everything prints free with no sign up. The cat drawings and dog drawings are the other collections in this hub.
Common questions
Where should a beginner start with a horse?
Not from the legs. Start with the horse head, which has no body to proportion, then the cute horse, which sits down so the legs fold away. Each page numbers its own steps under the drawing.
Which horse drawing works for a very young child?
The baby horse: thick outlines, four straight legs that do not overlap, and nothing small anywhere. A four year old colors each leg without having to work out which one is in front.
Is there a horse drawing that shows movement?
Two. The jumping horse is clearing a fence with its front legs folded tight, and the grazing horse is the opposite, built from one long line with its head down. Leaving the ground white under the jump is what makes it read as a jump.
Is there a realistic horse for an older child?
The realistic horse is drawn at real proportions with a butterfly in front of its muzzle, and the mane goes down strand by strand. It wants colored pencils and two close browns rather than a marker.
