Took a real old-school etching approach with this one. Its a woman on horseback at a full gallop, done in just 3 threads, the horse moving right with all four legs off the ground at once. Her hair is extremely long and it streams behind her with the mane, both caught mid-motion. The whole thing is done in an engraving-style hatched fill, like a steel plate illustration, so on fabric it reads more like a hand-drawn print than a typical patch.
Three colors, white, grey, black. Two color stops to manage across the full run. The hatched fill is what gives this design its depth, so dont drop your density settings or youll lose that etched quality. Tape a medium cutaway stabiliser behind your fabric before hooping the piece, especially on lighter cotton canvas, it keeps the dense fill from puckering during the 21,000 to 57,000 stitch run. Keep your needle at 75/11 for the tighter areas.
Customers asked me about this one for equestrian competition jackets and western show shirts specifically. The composition is wide and low, fits nicely across a 7.49-inch yoke or jacket back. I ran the petite 3-in on a denim shirt chest panel last summer and even at that small size the line work holds, you can read the flowing hair and mane clearly. Pop it on a dark fabric and the white thread really lights it up.
Message me after purchase if anything looks off with the file and ill fix it fast.

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.
