The pose does the work. A horse with its head down is drawn from one long line, neck to tail, and getting that line right matters more than anything added afterward. The mane falls forward instead of lying back, which is the detail that makes it read as grazing rather than standing. This realistic horse coloring page wants pencils and two close browns. The jumping horse is the same animal at full speed.
