The sculpture depicts a horse in motion, with one front leg raised. It is made of dark bronze, giving it a rich color with a slightly reflective surface. The horse is detailed, showing musculature and a flowing mane and tail. The size of the sculpture is suitable for a tabletop or display shelf, similar to a small to medium-sized statue.
