Here are four different decorative horses, each representing one of the elements - Air, Earth, Fire and Water. As I've stitched them out, they're fantasy horses with decorative motifs on their coats and in the background. But if you'd prefer something more realistic, you just have to leave out the decorative flourishes and stitch them in realistic, horsey colours.
Each horse comes with a separate file with its name (Air, Earth, Fire or Water) digitised in a decorative script
Sizes of the designs. The main designs measure 8.00 x 5.75 inches (203 x 146 mm) and are for the 6 ¼ x 10 ¼ inch hoop (160 x 260 mm). The names of the horses are for the 4x4 inch hoop (100 x 100 mm), but the size of the embroidery varies according to the length of the name. For example, "Air" is 2.9 x 2.3 inches while "Earth" is 3.8 x 2.3 inches.
A note on colours. The worksheets that you will get with the design files mention possible colours that could be used in stitching these designs out. However PLEASE don't think that you have to follow this guide. I include it in the worksheets because many people expect it, but the colours that you use must always depend on the colours of your background and appliqué fabric. So - be creative and follow your instinct as to the right colours to use
Price. The price of both designs for each horse is $10. The price for all 4 horses (plus the names of the horses) is $30
