Bring quiet motion to your stitching with this realistic trotting horse, shown mid-stride with a lifted tail, flowing mane and clearly defined hooves. The brown, tan, black and white shading gives it a natural look that will appeal to horse owners, riders and anyone who prefers equestrian motifs that feel true to life rather than cartoonish. It suits everyday projects where you want an animal design with poise and movement.
Because the design is open and lightly stitched, it sits especially well on shirts, fleece gilets, denim jackets, canvas totes and saddle pads without turning stiff or heavy. The five-thread-colour palette keeps the look polished without becoming fussy, so the horse reads cleanly on both plain and textured fabrics. With a wide spread of sizes, it works just as well as a subtle chest detail as it does as a larger feature on the back of a jacket or the front of a bag.
