As the title implies, this composition is an exciting ride at the speed of a horse in full stride. Using a wide range of instrumental colors and with rhythmic intensity throughout, the journey is a smooth one for the most part, with only a few dark tunnels fraught with impending peril along the way. Dynamic and entertaining.
