Denne 6,5 m. høje skulptur regnes som et af kunstneren Helen Schous hovedværker. Den er udført i bronze og placeret på en stensokkel. Soklen er opført af sten fra byens gamle fortovskantning.
Skulpturen skal minde om tidligere tiders opdræt af denne hesterace på Randersegnen og de store hestemarkeder der blev afholdt i byen.
De gamle markedesdage foregik i byens gader. Hestene stod side om side i lange rækkerselv i de mest befærdede gader. De store heste optog al pladsen i gaderne, og det var med fare for liv og lemmer, at man vovede sig igennem gaderne, når der var marked. Trods protester fra byens indbyggere fortsatte hestemarkederne i midtbyens gader hele frem til den 9. marts 1925
På skulpturens sokkel er placeret to plader med indskription. Den ene bærer teksten "Udført af Helen Rée Schou, Støbt hos Hermann Noack" og den anden bærer teksten "Rejst af Randers By og Samvirkende Jydske Hesteavlsforeninger 1969"
This 6.5 m high sculpture is considered as one of Helen Schou's major works. It is made of bronze and placed on a stonebase. The base is built of stone from the old pavement edging in the city.
The sculpture as a memory of the breeding of this horse race in the Randers area and the great horse markets held in the city.
The old marked days was located in the narrow streets of the city center. The horses stood side by side in long rows even in the busiest streets. The big horses filled the streets, and it was at the risk of life and limb you would walk the streets, when there was market. Despite protests from city residents the horse market continued in the middle of city streets until 9 March 1925
At the sculpture's base is two plates with inscription. One with the text "Made by Helen Rée Schou, cast by Hermann Noack" and the other bears the words "Placed by Randers and The Federation of Jutland Horse Breeding Associations 1969"
