Three men on horseback jump over a hurdle during a race in a dirt arena at Earl's Court in England as part of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. The rider in the left background holds his arm in the air above him as his horse jumps. The rider on the white horse in the right center background is landing. The third rider is already rounding a corner in the right midground. A backdrop with a landscape scene painted on it encloses the arena in the background.
