Hehe, somehow I just knew you wouldn’t be happy with my previously Hidden Manatees. Still, it’s a regular illusion, and you can’t deny it! Here and then I “have to” post these, since we have new visitors each day, and we wouldn’t want to disappoint them, would we? In the mean time, I’m posting this horse silhouette – I just can’t decide whether the horse is looking in my direction, or towards the horizon? This is the common problem with silhouette images. In a principle they all work in a same way as Spinning Girl and Spinning Man do.

Its really cool, I can see it both ways so I can’t say.
Not an illusion, just a silhouette.
The spinning ones were almost illusions though.
Into. Check the tail over the back legs.Could go either way though at the front end.
Whoa… Kinda creepy but still interesting none the less
the horses ears tell you its looking to the horizon. the right ear is smaller and less defined indicating its hidden behind the head.
looking at you. if you zoom in and cover the nose and look at the neck and ears it doesn’t look right if the horse was looking away, then if you look at just the nose, i think its facing you.
I dont agree with you, the hair doesn’t let you know if he’s looking to the horizon or not. Can be both. Have yoe ever seen a horse?.
definitely photoshopped…haha jk.
I think, horse is looking you, see the front legs
well i uses to own horses and i can say the horse is looking towards u look at the neck lines
Its def looking away .. you can tell by looking at the front legs… if it were looking at us.. and the legs were the same the left leg would have to be broken.. but it is a very cool pic!
I’m pretty sure he’s looking toward the camera because of his nose. Otherwise, his nose would be a bit wrong, it would instead be like his mouth is open facing the horizon. I think the tail makes more sense for facing this way, too, as well as the eyelashes. But it is a good image, you can see it both ways. Fun, thanks!
Actually, he ist looking at the horizon because you can see his back is too big. If He was looking at us his head would be bigger.
The horse is looking at you. If his face was turned away his nose would be slightly smaller. Very cool illusion though! I can see how it could go either way.
I think it is looking away from you as the shape of the ears suggests so.
I like this one as your vision seems to change as you look at it almost seeing the face looking at you. That is the illusion.
The horse’s nostril and eyelashes tell me that he is looking toward us, but what do I know? I only have 130 horses :) It is still cool, though.
the Horse it´s looking this way, if you pay attention to it you can see the horse´s eyes and nose
Look at the front two legs…the horse is looking to the horizon
The way the horse is positioning it’s self, it seems to be looking towards the horizon and not the viewer.You can tell by how the ears and the way its body is facing the opposite way from the viewer. (Then again I could be wrong)

Great picture. If the horse was looking towards us, it would be too much of an odd angle for the front leg positioned to the middle. Look at it and I’m sure you will agree the horse must be facing the horizon with it’s left front leg trailing slightly as if in a turn.
Yes I do know horses! Thanks for a great pic.
it looking at the horizon cause you can see the hair in the back of his head
kathleen is right!
its facing us otherwise the line of his neck would continue farther up. now the head is in front, so that it “interrupts” it. i hope i could make myself clear.
thanks kathleen
It is looking at the horizon if you look carefully at the legs .. forget the nose the hair and w/e else think rationally… the horse is tilting its legs to shift its body towards the horizon so yes it’s looking at the horizon
It looks a bit awkward when you see it looking at the horizon. I think it’s looking outward from the screen.
Neat, but not as cool as the spinning girl illusions. =)
In my opinion it’s looking away. The mouth gives it away for me. If it would be looking towards you there would be less of a bottom jaw and more of a nose present. Also the scale of the hourse’s body to it’s mouth gives it away for me. Lastly, the front legs suggest that it’s walking, and they don’t quite make sense in my mind if the horse would be walking towards the camera. It would almost have to be falling over forward for it’s legs to be in that position while walking towards the camera. It’s left leg would obviously look larger to us than it’s right, and the leg that’s farthest back seems bigger than the one that’s mostly vertical.
i think its facing towards the camera, look at the front leg closest to the camera. The weight of the horse is supported on that leg so it must be facing towards us.
looking right!
The most accurate way to determine the direction of these kinds of things (like with the spinning ones) is to note the size. The farther away something is, the smaller it’ll look.
That said, this horse is either looking away from the viewer, or it has an abnormally small head.
strange if you look at the ears it’s looking away but if you look at the nose it’s facing you, as for the rest of the horse it’s in a non- descript position
of course its looking at the horizon, look at its legs. a horse would never cross its legs!
The horse is looking towards the horizon. You can tell by the right ear, his left nsrtil and his mane. Could go either way though unless observed VERY closely!!!
esta viendo al orizonte, se nota luego luego en la posicion de las patas delanteras.
look at the size of the back leg!!!
i think its defintely looking at the horizon cause the front part of its body seems a little smaller than the rest
Great illusion. The creature could be facing either way, there are many postulations but no conclusive argument supporting either pose.
I find the most interesting thing about this illusion is if you back away from the screen about 35 feet it looks like a cow, or maybe even a dog. At 70 feet is looks like a black blob, maybe a jellyfish. At 150 feet the image is almost invisible. At 500 feet I can’t even make out a monitor screen, let alone an image. It just seems to get more interesting the further I get away from it. What an illusion. WOW.
Some of you “experts” (you know who you are)should really just chill and enjoy the great site and it’s unique content. Learn the difference between “critique” and “criticize”.
the front leg that is at a “\” angle looks like that its closer to us, so it would have to be looking in the opposite direction (for balance reasons).
I took this picture and the horse was looking away from my camera out towards the horizon.
I don’t know…
I can see both ways!
it is looking away. look at the horse’s ears they’re pointing outwards in curiosity because in that kind of a situation the horse is not angry and wouldn’t have its ears back that far.the horse is looking away, i have much experience with horses.
i dunno ummm horizon no no no me!nonono horizon….
This isn’t an optical illusion.
