The sculpture portrays a horse in mid-stride with one front leg raised. The horse's body shows detailed muscles and features, capturing its lively stance. It is made of bronze, giving it a dark brown hue with natural variations. It stands on a rectangular base. The sculpture is relatively small, suitable for tabletop display, with meticulous details of the horse's anatomy and grace.
