The equestrian print is signed in pencil in the margin by Munnings and was published in 1957 by Frost & Reed, it has a Fine Art Trade Guild blind stamp. The print is framed in original oak frame with mount. The painting depicts an impending horse race with five jockeys and their mounts lined up, the figures seen in the distance are the starter and his assistants.
