Yum, crunch time! This horse eating a carrot coloring page shows a friendly horse enjoying a tasty treat. With no background, it’s perfect for little ones – just grab the free printable and start your horse coloring fun.
Why This Simple Horse Works So Well
The horse stands on its own with no background, so there’s nothing to distract little artists. Thick outlines make it easier for toddlers to stay near the lines. In its mouth the horse holds a carrot with bushy leaves – a small splash of orange that makes a big impact. The mane and tail are split into just a few simple sections.

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 Do Horses Really Eat?
A carrot is a real treat for a horse – but only as a small reward. Their main food is grass and hay, and some horses also get a little oats. Horses also need minerals and plenty of fresh water every day. When you offer a horse a treat, hold it on a flat hand so the horse doesn’t nip your fingers by mistake. And always ask the owner first!
What to Do with Your Finished Horse
Cut out the horse and use it like a sticker on a greeting card or in a scrapbook. Or play “feed the horse”: which foods are good for a horse, and which ones don’t belong in its feed bucket?
