Horses stay in work all year around and it is a very organised programme and the horses seem to accept this routine and steadily gain strength and balance over the years of concentrated and dedicated work.
The horses varied from 4 years old upwards and from pre competition to International Grand Prix and of course there was the star, Gestion Goliath who was back in full swing after a short break recovering from a minor strain that was untimely in the campaign to get to Athens.

The Horse and Jockey is special in being one of the few original large-scale bronzes securely dated to the Hellenistic period.
Since the Horse and Jockey Group is one of the very few monumental representations of a horse race from Greek antiquity, Chapter 5 is devoted to the history of the single-horse race or kelês.
Although the two parts of the Horse were found separately and at a distance from each other, H. has convincingly demonstrated in his study that they belong to the same statue and that the Jockey goes with the Horse.
