Summary
An older gentleman is on horseback strapped into a contraption that limits the horses movement (as such, it won't move above a trot pace), limits any jolting movements and also provides shade and cover through the attachment of an umbrella. In the left background, a horseman struggles to control his horse as a panicked lady watches on and his top hat flies off behind him. To the right a male onlooker peers through his monocle in awe of the timid horsemen's contraption.
