Two horses in full gallop, both mid-stride inside a single heart shape. Its solid silhouette so theres no detail stitching on the inside, just the strong outer shape of the animals and the heart edge all rendered as one dense fill. Manes and tails trail back behind them which gives it alot of movement for what is technically a one-colour design. 5 sizes from 3.3 inches wide max 7.1 inches.
Stitch count runs from about 10,000 at the smallest to just over 30,000 at the 7 inch size, which is abit heavier than your average silhouette because of how fully the heart shape gets packed. Use a cutaway stabiliser here, especially on the larger sizes where the density builds up. Hooped cotton and denim both stitch out cleanly.
I made this one after getting requests from equestrian customers who wanted heart symbolism without it looking too cutesy. The horses give it backbone. One customer ordered it on a fleece jacket in black and posted a pic last week, it looked really sharp against the cream fabric.
And the design stays clean even at the small end because thats just how silhouettes work. Black on white cotton, navy on cream denim, dark brown on tan canvas, those are the colour combos that look best. Skip busy fabric patterns, the design needs a plain background to read properly.
Pop it on a shirt chest, a saddle pad corner, a tote bag, basically anything flat woven. Holler if youve got any trouble with the file and I'll sort it out quickly.
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 gift shirtsA 5 inch version on a plain black shirt is a clean equestrian gift that doesnt look over the top.
- Horse lover tote bagsOn a natural canvas tote in dark thread it works well for someone who spends mornings at the stables.
- Western jacket backThe large 7 inch size reads from a distance as a jacket back panel, good for denim or fleece.
- Saddle pad corner detailA 3.3 inch version in the corner of a saddle pad is a personal touch that doesnt interfere with anything.
- Barn manager apronsOn a canvas stable apron the fill density means the stitches stay tight through regular washing.
- Horse show ribbons backingEmbroidered on fabric backing for custom horse show ribbons, the heart shape works well with the ribbon format.

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.
