Ready, set – jump! This horse jumping coloring page shows a happy horse in mid-air over a wooden fence. Print this free printable and give your jumping horse plenty of bounce with color.
Why Kids Love This Jumping Horse
The horse is floating right above the fence: front legs tucked up tight, tail streaming behind and a huge grin on its face. It wears a halter with rings and a rope. The jump is made of two wooden rails between two posts, with grass tufts below. With no busy background, the page stays clear and lets kids focus on the horse.

Grab your crayons and go – then give the finished picture a spot on the fridge!
Fun Facts About Horses
Horses have powerful hind legs that push them off the ground when they jump. Their ears show how they feel: ears pointed forward mean the horse is alert and curious. You can roughly tell a horse’s age by looking at its teeth. Most horses live 25 to 30 years, and some even make it past 35. A male horse that has been neutered is called a gelding.
What to Do with Your Finished Jumping Horse
Set up a mini jump course with sticks and pillows in the yard or gym, and hop over it like horses – the finished page becomes the winner’s certificate. Or draw colorful flags on the posts, just like at a real horse show.
