Horse Line Drawings to Color

Horse Line Drawing As a lifelong horse lover I’ve always adored drawing & coloring in pictures of horses. Because of this I’ve searched high and low to find great line drawings for young horse lovers to make their very own.

Lot’s of Horses

I’ve got quite a large collection to share still and will be posting about them until I’ve exhausted my stockpile. These are interesting in that they feature horses as transportation.

Trail of Painted Ponies

Last week I featured the amazing horse artist Cholla creating his very own Painted Pony. This week I thought I’d share a more general view of the Trail of Painted Ponies because it’s a really unique artistic endeavor.

How It All Began

The trail started in Santa Fe, NM as a public art project where artists transformed life sized fiberglass horse statues into works of art. Today they are collectable art pieces that celebrate both the equine animal and the art if storytelling.

Horse people are known for their sense of humor, we have to – what other animal lover spends so much time dealing with poop? That said the signage associated with horses often carries that humor along, whether it’s in the form of a snarky slogan or in placement of the sign itself.

Pisanello Horse Sketch
A few weeks back, I featured some exquisite horse sketches by Pisanello, who was an Italian artist during the early Renaissance. His work was so prolific that I had to separate these sketches into several parts and today it’s part 2.

Horse Breeds Beginning With K

Horse breeds that start with K As I move on to other tasks after finishing the breeds I find myself looking for more obscure breeds in the hopes I’ll find more. Not only was it fun to write them, but it’s fun to share some of my favorites as well.

If you haven’t met the rest of the alphabet, be sure to do so A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J. Today it’s about breeds that start with K, from the handsome Kabarda that comes from ancient Turkoman stock to the athletic KWPN or Dutch Warmblood horse that has made a name for themselves in the show ring.

Cholla’s Painted Pony

Although it’s difficult to top last weeks video of a sidesaddle highjump this week is almost as interesting. Cholla is a horse and an artist and he likes to paint…you guessed it, horses.

Not Just Canvas

Cholla isn’t fickle and will paint almost anything & I’ve featured him & his art before. While his canvases are interesting, this time he is painting a horse figure from The Trail of Painted Ponies.

Horses in The Sand

Not long ago we took a chilly look at horses in the snow but this week I want to hold on to summer for just a little bit longer.

Keeping Summer Alive

I’m guessing most of them are part of sand sculpture contests and what fantastic entries they are. This kind of horse art inspires me to get out and enjoy warm weather while I still can!

Unfortunately not all of us can make it to a beach for summer fun, so I’m bringing the beach to you – in horse form.

The Horse Statue Code

There is a commonly held belief that equestrian statues follow a sort of code, which essentially dictates how the rider died. While it seems like it could make sense, all it takes is stopping to consider just how many equestrian statues exist in this world of ours.
