Mounted Patrol Unit Patch — Order This Moonlit Rider Design
Design S1828A at a glance
A gold-merrowed custom cut in navy, gold and tan that sets a mounted officer on horseback under a moon, with a stream winding past a stand of pines below. Lettering names the unit, its founding year and a service motto. It is a quiet, scenic layout that suits horse units working parks, trails and open country — and the landscape redraws to your own terrain.

About this moonlit rider mounted patrol design
Mounted units carry a tradition older than the patrol car, and their insignia tends to lean scenic rather than tactical. This design leans in: a rider and horse under a moon, with a stream winding through pines below. Navy holds the night sky, gold lights the moon and the rider’s outline, and tan warms the ground so the horse stands out against it.
Order it as shown or tailor it: redraw the landscape as your own hills or shoreline, put your unit name and founding year in the lettering, or trade the moon for a rising sun on day-shift details. 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 unit patch questions
Can the landscape match our own patrol area?
Yes. Send a photo of your hills, beach or skyline and we redraw the scene behind the rider at no art charge.
Can you draw our horse’s breed or coat color?
Yes. A side photo of your horse is enough for us to match its build and coat color in thread on the proof.
Is there a size for saddle pads?
Most units order 6" to 8" for saddle pads and blankets, sew-on, alongside the 4" sleeve patch in the same quote.
Can the moon change to a sun?
Yes. A rising or setting sun swaps in easily and is a common choice for day-shift and parade versions.
How do I show you what to change?
Open the markup tool in the quote form, circle the rider or the landscape, pin notes and pick colors. Your marked-up patch goes with the quote.
