Single color, black. The horse is rearing up on its hind legs and the whole outline of the animal, body, neck, legs, is made entirely from gnarled tree branches and twisting roots, so you cant tell where the horse ends and the tree begins. Its a concept design, the kind that rewards a longer look. Stitch count runs from 2,024 at the 3-inch size up to 11,001 at 6 inches, all digitized in professional embroidery software.
Ive had equestrian people order this on cream linen pillow covers and it looks like wall art. The branch texture inside the horse silhouette reads really well at larger sizes, so I'd push toward the 5-inch or 6-inch version on anything fabric-visible like a tote or a wall hoop. The 3-inch size still works on a denim pocket or a smaller accessory if thats what you need. Use a tearaway stabilizer on woven fabrics, cutaway on anything with stretch.
One customer picked this up last spring specifically for a series of equestrian-themed barn gifts, said it was the only horse design she could find that wasnt a cartoon or a cheesy clip art silhouette. The tree-branch detail is what makes it different. Stitch it in black on a white or oatmeal linen background and it reads almost like a woodblock print rather than embroidery.

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.
