The sculpture depicts a horse and rider in mid-gallop. The horse's legs extend forward and back, while the rider, wearing a cap, holds onto the reins with both hands. The sculpture is made of a metallic material with varying shades of blue, green, and brown. The texture highlights the musculature of the horse and the attire of the rider. The sculpture is static and mounted on a horizontal bar against a plain background.
