Floral Horse Head Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Alright the floral horse head is properly romantic and shes my favourite of the batch. Auburn brown horse head in profile, soft grey muzzle, big dark eye, black mane streaming back. A small daisy and rose flower crown sits on top of her head between her ears. Then a huge cascade of flowers spills down the right side of her neck and underneath the chin, pink roses, purple roses, yellow lilies, white daisies and trailing leaves. Thirteen colours, the densest piece in this batch.

Horse fur uses directional satin running with the natural lay of the coat so the auburn brown shifts tone as the eye traces the muzzle up to the ear, stops out of valentines colours but warmer. Black mane runs as long flowing satin strands so each strand catches light like real horsehair under sun. Rose petals layer up, dark base petals first then lighter pink or purple satin overlays for depth. Daisy petals use small white satin shapes with directional fill from the centre out. Heavy density of 983 spi and the largest size pushes 50k stitches so its a properly long stitchout.

I drew this for equestrian gift shops, country wedding gear and horse-girl apparel. The tiny one runs 3.21 by 3.51 inches, the largest 6.87 by 7.51, so itll work on a chest panel or full back of a tee but not a small pocket. A customer ordered the 7-inch last spring for a memorial pillow honouring her late mum who rode horses, and the photos she sent me made me tear up tbh. Good design, soft story.

Best fabric, ivory cotton tees, sage canvas tote bags, cream linen cushion covers, soft denim jackets. Skip black or navy, the dark mane and dark rose stems lose definition against deep colours, send me message if you want a colour-adjusted file. Avoid stretchy spandex or thin jersey, the dense floral fill pulls lighter knit fabrics out of shape and the petals buckle on ya.

Hoop with heavyweight cutaway stabiliser and float a layer of mesh stab underneath, this design needs serious backing. Slow the machine for the rose petal layers, thirteen colours means a dozen plus thread changes and the petal layering needs clean alignment for the dimensional shading to read right. Watch tension on the long mane satin, those strands can pucker if youre running loose bobbin tension.
