Head-Down Prancing Horse with Zigzag Zentangle Patches

A single horse prances across the page with its head lowered and turned toward the right, one front leg lifted and bent. Its long tail sweeps out behind in smooth curved lines. The whole body is filled with separate patches of design, including zigzags along the neck, swirls and spirals near the face and knees, wavy stripes across the shoulder, and curved bands on the hindquarters. The mane is made of small decorative sections too. Because the sections are different sizes, this works well for older kids, teens, or adults who like detailed pages. Try giving each patch its own color from a small palette, such as three blues and two greens, and keep the tail in one soft shade so the patterns stand out. It is a free printable that fits a quiet afternoon with colored pencils or fine markers.
