Ornate Prancing Horse Wearing a Saddle

A prancing horse walks across the page with one front leg and one back leg lifted, its head turned slightly and its long mane and tail streaming out in curly wisps. A saddle sits on its back, and the whole body is filled with small patterns instead of plain outlines. You will find spirals, scales, stripes, dots, and square key-style patterns on the legs, plus a round circle with a star shape on the chest and a flower-like shape near the tail. The hooves are left fairly simple. Because the sections vary so much in size, this works well for colored pencils or fine markers. Try picking three or four colors and repeating them on matching patterns, like all the spirals in one shade, so the horse looks planned and balanced. It is also a nice printable for talking about pattern and repetition.
