What it really takes is a decision as to what is wanted. I looked at
your original image and didn't know if you wanted/needed the entire
image, including the delicate multi-colored background with those
radial green elements, or just the horse, or just the text, or what.
And then, if the image presented to be digitized can be brought as
close as possible to what the desired end result should look like -
drawn with stitches instead of colored pixels - it gets much easier.
Large high-resolution clean images, such as the one you posted, are
much better than small ones. Vector images (.ai, .cdr, .svg, etc) are
also excellent to work with, since they can be enlarged and the image
re-captured without any distortion.
While there is embroidery digitizing software that claims to be able
to input a photograph and create a reasonable embroidery, I've never
seen one that works really well. Photo-like images with millions of
colors or, even more difficult, blended/shaded colors, take way too
much work for the kind of pro-bono efforts you can find here.
Hope these random comments are at least a tiny bit clear!
