Several horses with different coat colors gallop one after the other along a path. To the left of the path is a green meadow. The background is slightly blurred, clearly highlighting the horses in the foreground. Behind them, trees and vegetation can be seen, giving the scene a natural and open atmosphere. Trail paths are an integral part of HIT active stables.

Freedom
