This is a series of twelve frames showing a horse pulling a carriage with a rider. The sequence displays the horse's gait and movement over time, with its legs in different positions in each frame. The horse is harnessed to a two-wheeled cart and is shown in profile against a plain background. The lighting highlights the horse's muscles and form.
