Speedy Gallop Across a Grassy Field

A single horse gallops across a grassy field, drawn in a side view facing right. Its long wavy mane and tail stream out behind it, which gives the page a real feeling of speed. The front legs are bent and lifted off the ground, while the back legs push off with the hooves pointing down. Small tufts of grass run along the low rolling hills, and a plain round sun or moon sits in the upper left corner. The clean outlines and large open areas of the body are easy for younger kids to fill in. Try coloring the horse in a natural brown, bay, or gray, then use two or three shades in the mane and tail so the flowing strands stand out. You can also talk about how a horse moves when it runs, and which legs are on the ground. This free page works well for a quiet animal-themed activity.
