What's In This Picture

As you look at the page, you will see a focused rider wearing a riding helmet, jacket, and boots while guiding the horse over the hurdle. The jumping fence is built with sturdy poles and standards, and it even has small flags on the sides to mark the course. Look closely at the ground to find pretty flowers and lucky horseshoes scattered near the jump. In the background, rolling hills and leafy trees sit under a sky filled with soft clouds and floating stars. Every part of the gear, from the saddle to the bridle, is ready for you to add color and detail.

Coloring Tips

You can make the horse a classic brown, a spotted dalmatian style, or even a magical silver grey. For the rider, traditional show colors like a bright red or deep navy blue jacket look very professional. The fence poles often have stripes, so try using two alternating colors to make them stand out against the background. You might use a light green for the hills and a darker green for the trees to create a sense of depth in the landscape. Adding a soft blue or even a sunset orange to the sky will make the whole scene feel more realistic and vibrant.

Did You Know?

Did you know that horses are natural athletes? In professional show jumping, some horses can jump over fences that are more than six feet tall! That is taller than most grown-up humans. They work very hard with their riders to learn how to time their jumps perfectly so they do not knock over the poles. This partnership takes years of practice and lots of trust between the animal and the human.

Try This!

After you finish coloring the horse and rider, why not give the horse a special name and write it at the bottom of the page? You could also draw a gold trophy or a blue first-place ribbon in the corner of the page to show that this talented team won the big competition today.
