Gallop Gallery: Horse Breeds Coloring Book for Kids and Adults
Gallop Gallery is a printable horse coloring book that celebrates 24 real horse breeds, from the tiny Miniature Horse and the fluffy Shetland Pony to the elegant Arabian, the shining black Friesian and the giant Shire. Every breed appears twice: once as an easy page with very bold outlines for young artists, and once as a realistic, detailed portrait for teens and adults. Each page tells you where the breed comes from, how tall it grows in hands, and true facts written in plain language. Guides to face markings, leg markings and coat colors help everyone color their horses like the real thing.

Features
Easy Pages for Kids
Twenty-four pages with very thick outlines, large shapes and simple grassy backgrounds. The breed name is printed in outline letters to color, with colored chips for where the breed comes from and how tall it grows, plus two fun facts to read together. Ponies and small horses, classic riding horses, American favorites and gentle giants each have their own color.
Realistic Pages for Adults
The same 24 breeds drawn as detailed portraits in scenes from their homelands: an Icelandic horse among lupine flowers, a Fjord horse beside a Norwegian fjord, an Andalusian in a Spanish courtyard, a Lipizzaner performing a levade, wild Mustangs below red rock buttes and Clydesdales plowing a Scottish field. Fine lines, flowing manes and rich backgrounds make these realistic horse coloring pages ideal for colored pencils.
Horse Know-How Section
- Face Markings Guide: star, strip, blaze, snip and bald face drawn as clear diagrams on a horse’s face to color, plus a design-your-own face.
- Leg Markings Guide: coronet, pastern, sock and stocking marked on real leg shapes, with a blank set to add your own.
- Coat Colors Guide: bay, chestnut, black, gray, palomino, buckskin, roan, pinto and appaloosa with printed swatches, short descriptions and a “try my pencil” circle.
- Design Your Own Horse: tick a coat color and markings, then color a horse to match.
- Horse Breed Word Search with 20 breed names and an answer key.
