The sculpture depicts a horse in mid-stride. The horse has its right front leg extended forward and its left back leg stretched backward. The horse is portrayed in a proud and strong stance, with its mane flowing back. The sculpture is made of a material that reflects a bronze-like color, showing various shades of brown with darker patches scattered across its body. The contours of the muscles and the curvature of the legs show attention to detail. The horse is mounted on a simple horizontal base.
