Coloring the Clydesdale's Unique Features
When coloring a Clydesdale, their most famous trait is the heavy feathering around their lower legs. These long hairs cover the hooves and are usually bright white. The main coat is most commonly bay, which is a rich reddish-brown, though they can also be black, grey, or chestnut.
You will often see wide white markings on their faces, known as a blaze or a bald face. Many owners braid the mane and tie up the tail with ribbons to keep the hair out of the way during work or parades. For our realistic Clydesdale pages, try blending different shades of brown and black colored pencils to give the coat a healthy, muscular shine.
Draft Horses at Work and Play
Originally bred in Scotland for heavy farm and industrial work, these horses are incredibly strong. Our pages showing working Clydesdales in harness highlight the traditional leather collars and brass fittings they wear when pulling heavy wagons.
Younger children might enjoy the simpler scenes, like a cute baby horse standing next to its mother or grazing in a meadow. If you are studying agriculture or animal husbandry in the classroom, these printables pair well with other farm animal coloring sheets to teach students about the history of working animals. You can also explore our general horse coloring pages for a wider variety of breeds.
