It looks like their is something wrong with the horse but if you pay atention to the legs it is looking to the horizon. At first glance it appears to be looking at you.

looking away??? if the HORSE were looking AWAY from the camera then it would look like a HEADLESS horse, you wouldn’t be able to see the perfect shape of it’s face (the eye and nostril are 2 that stand out the most)plus you can tell it’s ears are perked at attention and pointed in the direction of the photographer.
This is coming from owning horses for 45 years and photographing them 25 years.
So THERE!!!!

I love the “is it a horse” debate .. what else would it be?

Can’t we just enjoy the inherent mystery in the image and not need to “solve” it?

it is a horse, but yes its legs and slope could suggest otherwise. however, i know a horse who can stand in the most weirdest position as if he should be falling over but hes completely relaxed and doesn’t even notice. This horse is standing a little crooked, that is all.
I think its facing us coz its position in pause suggests he is alert and more focused on something to worry about position. His ear shape and tips make it look like he is looking at us

The horse is facing towards the camera. If you look closely you can see some whiskers around the eye area.
I don’t particually like horses but I’ve seen enough of them to know that and also Holly is an idiot.

i first thought it was looking at the camera.

But if you think about it in art terms of perspective and size the head seems smaller in comparison (a little bit) compared with the neck and the rest of the body. The only reason unless it has a small head of course would be if it was a little farther away like a half foot to a foot away. but that’s just my thought and i could be wrong but the way the neck leads up it would be unnatural for the head to be that small if it was facing the camera.

but whatever i have more important stuff to do than debate about which way a horse is looking like study for my physics exam… i should probably do that,

thanks moillusions i will let you know how that goes…

you idiots, the point is, in silhouette the horses L and R sides are unidentifiable so you cannot say if the horse is leaning on its R fore foot or L.

this is coming from 32 years of not being an idiot.

and this IS a horse, omg are you just trolling?
