A stylized rider in a wide-brimmed hat and a striped suit sits on a sleek black horse, both shown in flat profile and walking from left to right across the center of the canvas. The cream outfit, sage-green heels and warm tan and brown saddle and tack stand out against the solid burnt-orange background.

A decorative checkerboard lane in charcoal and cream runs through the foreground. Subtle painterly brushstrokes and a fine canvas grain show through the flat color, giving this naive, minimalist composition a rustic-modern and quietly nostalgic feel.
