A chestnut horse looking straight at you over the green half door of its stable. The long face has a white blaze that widens over the muzzle, two dark eyes with a white glint in each, two dark nostrils, a dark forelock and two pricked ears, and a darker brown neck widens down behind it to the door. The door is a plain rail over seven upright planks in stable green. Two wooden posts and a beam across the top frame the picture, and the doorway behind the horse is left as bare fabric. A dark brown outline runs round every part, and the left half mirrors the right exactly. No bridle.
35 stitches wide by 48 high: 1,333 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Very Dark Hazelnut Brown 869, Hunter Green 3346 and 3 more).
