This is a proper gallop pose, all four legs off the ground in that extended flying position. Chestnut. The body has directional satin fill mapped along the muscle curves of the shoulder and hindquarters so it doesnt look pasted on. Seven thread colours: chestnut brown body, darker brown for the legs and muzzle detail, warm tan for the belly highlight, cream for the neck hair and flowing tail, and a near-black for the hooves. And yes the trim sequence matters here, I mapped that carefully in my usual software so no thread jumps show on the front.
Five sizes from 2.77 inches wide up to 5.93 inches wide, height going from 3.51 to 7.51. Stitch counts go from 15,871 on the smallest to 36,751 at the largest, which is a long stitch-out on the big end, plan for it. Density is 825 which is high and intentional: the muscle fill sections need that weight to hold the directional shape through washing. Built in my embroidery software this past winter. Hoop on a firm cutaway stabiliser and dont even consider tearaway at this density, it wont hold.
A customer ordered the 5-inch hoop last month for an equestrian club jacket back panel and emailed photos when it was done, the directional fill on the hindquarters read as actual muscle definition in the thread, which was the whole goal when I mapped those fill angles. Run this on a navy tee and the chestnut and cream contrast is exactly right without needing a border. Stitch the pocket version for subtle adult equestrian wear. Frame the 3-inch in a wood hoop for a desk piece. Pair with iron-on backing if you want to attach it to denim without re-hooping the jacket.
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.
- Equestrian and horse-themed apparel for adultsThe 4-inch version on a navy tee chest or pocket is the clean adult equestrian look -- the chestnut on navy reads strong without being loud.
- Horse riding lesson kids tees and jacketsStitch the 5-inch on a kids riding jacket back panel for a riding school keepsake that parents actually want to keep after the season ends.
- Stable and farm shop branded merchandiseStable branding on polo shirts or aprons for small equestrian businesses gives a quality feel that screen printing on small runs cant match.
- Equestrian club member gifts and awardsMounted in a 6x6 hoop frame as an end-of-season award piece for young riders -- the high stitch density gives it a textured quality that photographs well.
- Western-theme home decor and wall hoopsThe 3-inch version on natural linen in a wood hoop works as a desktop piece for a home office with a country or equestrian theme.
- Horse lover birthday gifts and personalised itemsPersonalise by adding a name or stable number below the horse using a clean serif font block -- keeps the design focused.
- Denim jacket back panel or chest pocket patchThe 5-inch on the back panel of a denim jacket over firm iron-on stabiliser makes a statement piece that doesnt curl at the edges.

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.
