Horse Head
The horse’s head is turned slightly toward the viewer, giving a soft three‑quarter angle that shows the curve of one cheek and the elegant line of the opposite jaw. The forehead is broad and smooth, tapering into a refined, straight profile. The eyes are large, liquid, and expressive—deep, gentle, and full of quiet intelligence, framed by long lashes that soften the whole expression.
The ears sit alert at the top, angled forward with a delicate inward tilt, as if the horse is listening to something it loves. A few wisps of forelock fall between them, drifting down the centre of the face in loose, natural strands.
The muzzle is velvety and rounded, with soft shading around the nostrils and a slight highlight on the bridge of the nose. The nostrils are relaxed and open, giving the horse a calm, friendly presence. The lips curve subtly, creating that almost‑smile horses have when they’re content.
Along the neck, just enough mane is visible to frame the head—gentle waves or straight strands depending on the style you prefer—adding movement and softness without overwhelming the face.
Overall, the expression is serene, kind, and quietly curious, perfect for a stitched or painted motif that feels welcoming and full of personality.Size: 6.5" x 5" (17cm x 13cm)

Horse Head Kit
- Check the paint type – If you used fabric paint, it should be washable. If it's acrylic or another type, it may require extra care.
- Spot test – Dab a small, hidden area with water and mild soap to ensure the paint doesn’t bleed.
- Hand wash gently – Use cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid scrubbing directly on the painted areas.
- Rinse thoroughly – Make sure no soap residue remains.
- Air dry – Lay flat in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
