Meet Thistlehoof, the proud little Highland cow who stands tall on sturdy legs and a heart full of gentle curiosity. His shaggy coat tumbles in soft, tousled waves from head to hoof, each strand catching the light like warm autumn straw. With his long fringe sweeping across his face and just a hint of a smile beneath it, he radiates calm, rustic charm. One ear flicks forward, the other relaxed, giving him that perfectly endearing, slightly lopsided look Highland cows wear so well. His horns curve gracefully above his fluffy head, adding a touch of quiet majesty to his sweet, grounded presence. Thistlehoof stands as if he’s greeting you at the edge of a misty field—steady, friendly, and full of personality. Whether stitched or painted, he brings a cosy Highland warmth to any collection.
