More puzzles to play
A bay horse looks straight at the camera, its face filling most of the frame with a green pasture blurred softly behind. The light is flat and cool, the kind of overcast day that shows every hair. It is an intimate portrait that works nicely as a mid size puzzle.
About this puzzle
This young brown horse stands in a grassy paddock, facing the camera with a soft, fuzzy mane standing up over its ears and a curious look on its face. Dark trees and a fence line sit softly out of focus behind it, so the warm chestnut coat and the bright, alert eyes are the real focus of the picture. It makes a friendly, welcoming medium puzzle.
This coloring is called bay, a brown body with a black mane, tail, and lower legs. Bay is produced by a gene that restricts black pigment to those points, and it is one of the oldest and most widespread horse colors in the world.
How to play
Set the number of pieces to match the challenge you want, then drag them with a mouse or your finger. Matching pieces click and lock together. Use the shuffle option or the reference picture if you stall, and take as long as you need since nothing is timed.
Tips for solving this one
Start with the horse itself, since the rich brown coat and that upright fuzzy mane stand out clearly from the muted green background. Build the head and the two ears first as a landmark, then work down the body. Save the soft, blurred trees and grass for last, grouping those pieces by their gentle color shifts.
