This one has alot of movement to it. The mane fans out in long directional satin runs, each strand mapped separately so they actually look like separate strands of hair rather than one flat blob. The neck curves upward with that arched, proud posture horses get when theyre being shown -- not a galloping horse, just a head-and-neck portrait done with real confidence.
The punch came out of Wilcom and I spent a decent amount of time on the mane density. At the 3-inch size its 7,238 stitches. Push it up to the 7-inch and youre sitting at 18,439 stitches, which gives you enough thread coverage to look clean on fleece or a thick canvas tote without the satin sections pulling loose. Hoop it on medium cutaway stabiliser and youre fine on most knit fabrics. For wovens and denim, standard tearaway works.
One customer ordered the 5-inch version for a horse show ribbon banner -- the kind where they frame the ribbons with a custom centre piece. Came out really nice on cream linen. Another customer asked about stitching it on a stable blanket in dark navy and the single-colour setup makes that dead simple, just swap the thread.
Use medium cutaway under fleece or stretch knit -- the mane satin columns need that backing to stay flat. Stitch the 3-inch on a cap front hooped tight with a topping sheet over the fabric. Add it to a stable blanket pocket panel by running the 6-inch on woven cotton with standard tearaway. And if youre doing a western shirt yoke, the 5-inch sits right.
5 sizes from just under 3 inches up to 7 inches wide. One colour stop, 27 trims, zero colour changes -- load it and go.

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.
