Design S1524A at a glance
A white-edged shield with a horse head paired with a star. Four lettering fields carry the mounted unit's name, a sheriff's affiliation line, a motto and a founding year. Navy, white and grey make it crisp and formal — a cool palette that stands out against the browns and tans of most riding gear.

About this horse head and star mounted shield
Mounted deputies work parades, search operations and crowd events where the horse is the first thing anyone sees, so a horse-head emblem is the obvious choice — and the star keeps it tied to the sheriff's office. This shield uses a cool navy, white and grey palette instead of the usual western browns, which gives it a dress-uniform polish. Four lettering fields leave room for both the unit name and its affiliation.
Customize it for your riders: change the unit and affiliation lines, update the motto and year, or redraw the horse to match a breed or blaze from your own string. 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.
