Its a rearing horse, front legs lifted, body completely filled with swirling baroque florals and colour that shifts from gold at the head down through orange, then this deep cobalt blue across the belly, into purple and violet along the tail. Green leaf accents burst out of the mane. The whole thing reads like a carousel horse crossed with an art-nouveau painting. Dense. Big. The kind of design that genuinely suprises you when it comes off the hoop.
I digitised this one myself using pro digitising software and the stitch density is sitting around 739 per section, so youll want a proper cutaway stabiliser underneath, not tearaway. The directional satin on the neck and legs really catches the light. I had an equestrian girl from Texas order the 7.5 inch last month for a tote she was gifting her riding instructor, and she sent me a photo afterward. Honestly it looked alot better stitched out than even I expected. Use a topping on fleece or terry fabrics because those textures can swallow the finer floral underlay details. Hoop your fabric taut and dont rush the colour changes, theres quite a few of em and the bobbin tension matters here.
The 5 inch version sits kinda just right on the back of a denim jacket without going over the shoulder seam. Pop it centered on canvas or twill for the cleanest result. Stitch it on a linen cushion and the gold thread just glows. Skip stretchy jersey for this one unless you use a cutaway with a stabilising layer underneath, the density will pucker on knit fabric without it.

What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- Denim jacket back panelThe 5 inch sits perfectly on a denim jacket back without crowding the shoulder seams.
- Canvas tote bagTote bags take the 7.5 inch nicely, plenty of flat canvas to let the full rainbow gradient breathe.
- Linen cushion coverHonestly my favourite spot for this one is a natural linen cushion, the gold thread pops against the fabric.
- Horse blanket or saddle padThe 3.5 inch drops onto a saddle pad corner without bunching, just enough presence to personalise it.
- Fleece zip-up hoodieFleece hoodie backs work well at the 6 inch, just make sure youre using cutaway underneath.
- Wall hoop displayMounted in a 10 inch hoop on the wall this looks like actual framed artwork, realy striking.
- Twill barn bagA twill barn bag at the 5 inch is what a few of my equestrian customers have been reaching for lately.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
