This humorous cartoon features a rider sitting atop a dark-coated horse. Instead of jumping over the fences, the horse is inexplicably carrying a massive, disorganized bundle of multicolored show jumping poles horizontally across its back. The rider, visible only from the head up, looks dazed and rattled with a swirling motion line above their helmet, suggesting they have just crashed through the obstacles.
In the foreground, three observers stand on the green grass, looking on with various expressions of bewilderment and concern. One man in a grey jacket is reaching out to touch the horse's nose, while two others in long yellow coats watch the scene unfold. The ground is a simple, vibrant green expanse, while the background transitions from a light, hazy field into a deep blue sky at the top. Several fallen pole sections are scattered on the ground around the horses feet, reinforcing the chaos of the situation.
The style is a whimsical, hand-drawn illustration with clear, expressive line work and soft, painted coloring. The characters have exaggerated features typical of caricature, adding to the comedic tone. The signature "Blachon" is visible at the bottom center of the scene. The overall composition is centered on the absurdity of the horse carrying the entire fence jump, highlighting the humorous failure of the rider's attempt to clear the course.
