Alken's proficiency in articulating the detailed vitality and nuances of each figure expresses the tense anticipation that permeates such a moment in the hunt. With his effective use of color and deft handling of light, Alken manages to vividly portray the drama and immediacy of the scene.

The artwork offers valuable insights into the social history of this era, particularly in illustrating the popular rural pastime of hunting among the British gentry.
As is the case with many of Alken's artworks, "Changing Horses" is also noted for its technical precision and aesthetic appeal, which reflect the artist's extensive understanding of equine anatomy and movement. This characteristic attention to detail solidifies Alken's reputation as one of the foremost sporting painters of his generation.
