It’s quiet time in the barn! This horse in the stable coloring page shows a relaxed horse in its stall with hay and water ready to go. Print the free printable and make this cozy horse stall feel like home with your colors.
Why Kids Love This Horse Stall
The horse stands in the middle of an open wooden stall with a peaked roof, beams and a little door in the back. A diamond-patterned hay net hangs on the left, a bucket sits on the right, and straw covers the floor. The horse is big and rounded with a short mane flopping over its forehead. The straight wooden frame is a nice contrast to the soft shapes of the animal.
🖨️ Step by Step: How to Print It Best
Click “Print” on the right, or download the image or PDF.
Letter or A4 in portrait, scaling set to “Fit to page” – the picture fits the sheet perfectly.
Regular printer paper is fine for colored pencils; for paint, use thicker paper (65–110 lb).
Grab your crayons and go – then give the finished picture a spot on the fridge!
What Does a Horse Need in Its Stall?
Horses like to eat lots of small meals throughout the day, mostly grass and hay. A hay net like the one in the picture slows them down so they stay busy longer. Horses also need plenty of fresh water. Their sleep is fascinating, too: horses can doze standing up because their legs “lock” in place – but for deep sleep, they lie down. Since horses are herd animals, they also need other horses nearby and lots of time outside.
What to Do with Your Finished Stable
Make a little name sign for the stall and give your horse a name. You can even build the stable from a shoebox with some straw or paper grass, then move the cut-out horse right in.
