Explanation

A speed horse is a fast horse, and a fine horse. This word isn't very common, but it does come up in horse racing contexts, and creative writing.

Reading

しゅんめ

しゅんば

Explanation

You learned the reading for 駿 with the kanji, but 馬 has two possible readings in this word, and you only learned ば. Here's a mnemonic to help you remember め:

This fast horse is so fast that all you can see as it speeds past are the whites of its 目 (め).

Of the two readings, しゅんめ is the more common.
