The artist from the English School skillfully captures the energy and excitement surrounding this important event. The horses stand tall and proud, their muscular bodies exuding strength and grace. They seem eager to embark on their journey across the sea, representing not only their physical prowess but also symbolizing the enduring bond between humans and animals.
