galloping horse
Swift charging stallion
A galloping horse is a horse running at full speed, its fastest natural gait where all four hooves leave the ground simultaneously.
The phrase often appears in contexts emphasizing speed or motion: He could eat a galloping horse suggests extreme hunger.
In early cinema, Eadweard Muybridge's photographs of a galloping horse famously proved all four legs do leave the ground at once.
