Bring quiet strength to your stitching with this realistic black horse portrait, set inside an elegant oval frame. The horse’s dark coat stands out against a filled oval background, with the bridle picked out in tan and brown and softened by touches of white and dark grey. Decorative foliage and grass around the border give it a finished, traditional look that will especially appeal to horse owners, riders and anyone who prefers equestrian designs with a more classic feel.
With 8 thread colours and a dense, heavily stitched build, this design has the weight and coverage to suit sturdy fabrics rather than anything too fine. It looks particularly at home on quilted jackets, gilets, canvas tote bags, stable accessories, cushion fronts or the back of a denim shirt. Because the oval frame contains the composition neatly, it reads clearly as a central feature and scales well from a subtle chest piece to a bold statement on larger projects.
