A badge-shaped cut with a gold merrowed edge and a navy field, carrying a horse head above a star. Below the star, a winding trail leads toward a small cabin, giving the design a backcountry feel. Lettering covers three elements: the unit name, an established-year line and a two-word motto.

About this mounted patrol horse and cabin design
Most horse-unit patches stop at the horse. This one adds a sense of place: the winding trail and the cabin beneath the star suggest the parkland, trail systems and rural ground that mounted officers actually ride. The horse head sits on top where it can be read from across a crowd, and the navy, gold and tan palette keeps the scene warm without turning it into a postcard.
Make it fit your unit: put your unit name in the top line, set your own founding year, swap the two motto words, or redraw the cabin as a barn or ranger station. This page shows a design concept we manufacture to order — your stitch-ready proof arrives 6–12 hours after you order, and nothing is produced until you approve it.

Mounted patrol horse patch questions
Can you redraw the horse to look like one of ours?
Yes. Send a side or three-quarter photo and we redraw the head with your horse's blaze or markings at no art charge. The proof shows it before anything is produced.
Can the cabin become a barn or ranger station?
Yes. The cabin and trail redraw to a landmark that fits your patrol area, and you approve the new scene on the mockup.
Do the trail and cabin hold up on a small patch?
At 3.5 inches tall and up the scene stitches cleanly. On smaller saddle-pad patches we simplify the trail line slightly on your proof.
Can we change the founding year and motto?
Yes. All three lettering elements restitch, so the unit name, year and motto can read exactly as your unit wants.
What backing works on saddle pads?
Sew-on is the most secure for saddle pads and riding gear. Iron-on works on cotton blends but is not recommended for gear that sees heavy sweat and washing.
