Two running wild horses at full gallop, manes thrown back, all 9 colors working together to get the muscle shading right. The haunches and shoulders are done in directional fill stitching rather than flat color blocks, so there's real depth to the coats once its off the machine. Its the kind of image that looks good big, you genuinely want the detail to read.
Stitch counts run between 24,085 and 54,708 depending on which of the 9 sizes you pick, with the widest setting coming in at 6.5 inches. Tape the fabric behind a firm medium-weight sew-in stabiliser for best results on denim or heavy cotton, it keeps everything from shifting mid-stitch. Use a cutaway on stretch fabric. She told me last spring the detail on the larger size was what sold her on framing it as a hoop piece, and honestly I get that, the directional thread shading on the coats is where all the digitising time went. Pick a light or mid-tone fabric so both the dark chestnut and the lighter tan horse read separately.
Horse people are very particular, and this design tends to connect with them because it doesnt look like a clipart horse. The motion in it feels real. Go for the chest 6-in on a jacket back, it fills the space properly without getting cramped.
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 riding jackets and vestsThe larger size fills a jacket back panel dramatically, use cutaway on stretch fabrics.
- Western shirts and denim shirt pocketsA 3 to 4 inch version on a shirt pocket gives just enough detail to read clearly.
- Tote bags and saddle bags for horse ridersCanvas or waxed cotton tote bags carry the rugged palette really well.
- Framed hoop art for a stable or tack roomMounted on natural linen in a wooden hoop, it looks like proper stable wall art.
- Throw pillows for a western or ranch-style bedroomWorks on tan or cream pillow fabric to echo the warm chestnut tones in the design.
- Youth sweatshirts and school bags for horse-obsessed kidsKids who ride will want this on every piece of clothing they own, just a warning.
- Boot bags and gear pouches for show ridersThe smaller 3 inch version patches neatly onto a gear pouch or boot bag flap.

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.
