The image is a black and white photograph of a horse and rider in mid-air. The horse is a chestnut color with a white blaze on its face and a black mane and tail. The rider is wearing a helmet and a jacket, and is sitting on the horse's back. They are in the middle of a jump, with the horse leaning forward and the rider leaning forward. The jump is made up of several metal bars, and there are several other hurdles in the background. The ground is covered in grass and there is a field with trees and buildings in the distance. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the image is dramatic.
