The sculpture depicts a horse in a leaping position with its legs outstretched, as if it is frozen mid-gallop. The horse is made from a painted material that appears aged and weathered. The majority of the sculpture is painted white, with details such as the mane, nostrils, and hooves highlighted in black. Its saddle is depicted in dark color. The sculpture is mounted on two metal supports. The setting is an outdoor environment, with trees and an open path visible in the background.
