Why Kids Love This Grooming Scene
On the left, a beaming child in overalls and rain boots holds a grooming brush against the pony’s neck. The pony looks calm and content, its long mane falling over its neck. There’s a bucket nearby, with a wooden fence and barn door in the background. Kids can color the clothes, coat and background however they like – and maybe even turn the child into themselves.

Why Do People Brush Ponies?
Grooming removes dust, dirt and loose hair from the coat. It’s also a chance to check whether the pony has any scrapes or sore spots. Many ponies really enjoy being brushed, and their ears tell you how they feel: forward means curious, pinned flat back means “Leave me alone!” Good to know: ponies gain weight easily, so they mostly eat grass and hay with very little grain. In winter, they grow a thick, fluffy coat.
What to Do with Your Finished Pony Page
Glue a photo of your child’s face onto the kid in the picture – now they’re the one grooming the pony! Or brainstorm what belongs in a grooming kit and draw it all on a second sheet.
