We have a beautiful charming horse coloring sheet for you to enjoy on this page! This horse is striking a great pose from a small mound of dirt, and it looks as if it is performing a trick.

14. Youg horse climbing a mountain
Horses are capable of navigating some pretty tough terrain, and this one that we have for you to color is doing just that. The environment it is in is quite bare and tough, and it would be quite a challenge to hike up a hill like this. The horse featured here seems to be having no problem, and it shows why humans have relied on horses to help us get around for thousands of years. We would use some milder, more washed-out colors for this one, as it would make the environment look even more barren and tough to navigate. Will you go for that look or make the colors brighter?

Another truly majestic horse scene is up next for you to color! Once again, we get a great look at the details of this horse, and it gives you a lot to color in. The environment surrounding the horse is quite lush and grassy, so we would use some bright, fresh greens for most of these background elements. Behind the horse, we have a few lines that form some layers that could be either some mountains or the sky.
27. Male horse waiting for his owner

Next, we have an action-packed scene that really captures the speed and thrills of riding a horse.

One way of showing fast speeds in a static image is to use lots of smaller strokes of color in the background to make it look like the scenery is whizzing by.

Many of these charming horse coloring pages have shown horses in the middle of running or performing tricks, but this one shows off a more subdued scene. This horse is taking a break to eat some food, and it makes for a nice relaxed picture. If we were coloring this one, we would use some softer colors done with some colored pencils or watercolors.

- DIY Crafts: Turn pages into bookmarks, greeting cards, gift tags, or mini posters for a horse-themed bedroom or study corner.
- Learning Tie-In: Label parts of the horse (mane, forelock, withers, hoof) or mark gait types (walk, trot, canter, gallop) right on the page.
- Color Experiments: Try layered colored pencils for glossy coats, light watercolor washes for backgrounds, and gel-pen accents on manes and tack.
- Build a Binder: Sort pages by scene—pasture, beach, mountains, arena—or by horse type—pony, mustang, show horse—for an easy-flip collection.
Pro Tips for Realistic Horse Colors & Scenic Backgrounds
- Coat Guides: Practice common coats like bay, chestnut, palomino, dapple gray, roan, and pinto; add subtle muzzle and leg shading.
- Mane & Tail Flow: Shade in hair strands following the curve of motion; add highlights where light hits the crest.
- Tack Details: Use deep browns for leather saddles and bridles; add small metallic dots for buckles and stirrups.
- Natural Settings: Layer greens for meadows, soft blues for skies, sandy tones for arenas, foamy whites for beach spray.
- Action Lines: Suggest motion with light strokes trailing hooves when the horse trots, canters, or gallops.
