Single colour black line art horse head, mane flowing up and back, drawn in loose sketchy lines like someone drafted it with a fine pen. The ear points sharp upward, theres a single almond shape for the eye and the muzzle line dips down to a soft point. Manes got dozens of thin individual hair lines so its actually looks like hair, not a flat blob.
Just black thread on the line work keeps the stitch count low. Whole thing comes in at around 8k stitches at the largest size which is genuinely fast on the machine. So its great as a quick gift project. Most of the work sits in the mane where the dozens of fine line strokes need stable directional stitching to read clean.
I get a bunch of customers ordering it for equestrian shops and stable barn gift kits. Last summer I sold a heap going into county fair season, mostly stitched onto canvas totes for vendor giveaways. And one customer ordered 30 of em at the smallest size for sleeve cuffs on a riding club uniform, said theyd be back for more.
Stitch on linen, denim or cotton canvas to get the cleanest line definition. Skip thick fleece cause the fine sketchy strokes will sink in. But heavy cotton drill or twill works really nicely. Use a tearaway stabiliser, the designs too low density to need cutaway.
9 sizes from 3.5 to 7.5 inches wide, the height stays low at 1.71 to 3.27 inches cause of the horizontal head profile. The 5 inch size suits left chest placement on polos, the 7 inch shines as a sleeve or back panel piece on denim jackets.

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.
