Celebrate the Year of the Horse (or just horses in general) with this unique hand embroidery sampler!

People born in the Year of the Horse are said to be confident, agreeable and responsible, and this year of the "Fire Horse" (2026) is meant to inspire motion over inertia, and courage over fear. You'll love stitching this design inspired by traditional Chinese zodiac illustrations in red and white, red being the luckiest of colors.
