Coloring Pages – Horsemanship For Women

In my endless searches for fun horse stuff online sometimes I run across a jackpot. This time is no exception and I found a treasure trove of cool horse drawings that will make great coloring pages too. There are so many it’ll take weeks to share them all!

Outdated Concepts

It’s clear that times have changed since theses drawings were created, but it’s an interesting peek into a world most women of today can no longer recognize. I mean seriously, spending time around horses in a long skirt is simply not practical. These drawings come from a book called Horsemanship for Women by Theodore Hoe Mead & illustrated by Gray Parker which was published in 1887.

How to Fiddle

These were among the strangest of the drawings. They appear to teach women how to fiddle with a horse’s bridle until they actually irritate them. However the horses are well drawn and there is plenty more to come.
