The horse head sits in profile with a classic cowboy hat perched on top, mane suggestion sketched around the neck area, dignified and sturdy looking. Whole composition has this clean western look that never really goes out of style. Only 3 colours, which is alot simpler than most of my other designs, but that simplicity is what makes it versatile. The chestnut coat, dark hat brim, and cream highlight keep it readable on pretty much any base colour.
But the stitch structure is still solid even with the lower colour count. The face and hat fill use directional stitching so you get some dimension rather than a flat patch. Stitch count runs from 12,054 at the 3.51 inch smallest size up to 30,651 for the 7.51 inch version. Density sits at 705 which is moderate, manageable on most machines without drama.
Nine sizes from 3.51 by 2.71 inches up to 7.51 by 5.79 inches. I sell this one alot to people doing western-themed wedding favours and rodeo event gear. A customer last summer ordered it for a whole batch of country wedding tote bags on natural canvas, looked exactly right for the vibe they were going for. Its one of my reliable ones honestly.
Use cutaway stabiliser for knits, tearaway is fine for woven denim and canvas. Stitch cleanly on cotton, denim, canvas or fleece. And the 3 colour thread changes make this one of the faster designs to run if youre doing a batch.
Works really well on tan, olive, navy, black or rust base fabrics. That deep hat fill reads best when theres contrast with the base colour beneath it. Heres my pick, tan canvas wins. Im a fan of how the horse profile pops against it. Youll see the cowboy hat shape crisp up too. Thats kinda the rule. So darker fabric bases let the cream highlight on the muzzle show up properly too.

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.
