This step by step tutorial shows you how to draw a standing horse. I've tried to keep it quite simple, so that beginners can follow along without being daunted by too much detail.

First draw a rectangle, as big as you want the back of the horse to be. Leave room on the left for its head and neck. Make the rectangle a little wider for a short-legged pony, taller for a leggy thoroughbred, or square in the middle.

Next draw two ovals as shown, a horizontal one for the barrel of the horse's chest, and a sloping oval for the horse's hindquarters.
