Horses, horses, horses… can we have a decent optical illusion without this royal animal? Apparently not. Perhaps there is something about them, that makes an artist inspired in creating optical illusions. Once again we have an illusion that deals with a horse (and a cowboy too). Just like it was with our previous horse silhouette, we can’t really be sure in which direction these guys were heading. Is it towards us, or away from us? If you consider the sunset behind our horseman, and if the horse’s shadow is made by the sun, I would guess both horse and a cowboy are heading away from us… but this is only my opinion. Any other suggestions? Now when I finished writing this, count how many times the word “horse” has been mentioned, and you’ll probably be amazed that every single link in this article points to a different horse optical illusion. This is half the many we have in our archives. Shishh…

I can see it both ways but everytime I see him go away and look at the foot of the cowboy on the right of the horse i keep thinking he’s coming back. Because if he was going then you wouldn’t be able to see the foor.
Going away. As per # 17 look at the rear legs they would have to be crossed to be coming towards us. As well the position of the horse tail would be seen between the legs and ears would be out of place if coming towards us. Read the bottem of the poster GOING to the Ball Park (AWAY FROM US)
Let me tell u. I kept asking myself, what are these people talking about? it is obvious that the guy is walking towards us. OMG I feel stupid now, because it took me forever to see that it could be both ways. At first glance it seems to me that he’s walking away from the park but after a second look it seems he’s going to the park. Nice very nice illusion.
Cowboys have herding dogs. A herding dog follows the rear of the herd to keep it moving and will only cross infront to slow or make the herd change directions. He is going away in the poster.
The dog is in front, so they are coming, for sure. The horse could not be in a different direction from the dog, because of the shadow. So for sure, they are coming.
Since this is a drawn pic he’s not going anywhere. I rest my case.
i think he is going.
When it would be the other way round, it would be a horse with quite a small head
It’s pretty obvious. Read the whole poster to understand.
really? he is going towards the field..its very obvious! read the poster.its not really an illusion
He is going towards the crowd… The simple reason I can give : Every Dog follows its owner back running but not in front…..
Sorry, my earlier attempt at humour may have been a bit juvenile. What I was implying is why would a bloke (and I’m assuming he’s single), ride away from a stadium full of women on “BLOOMER DAY”?.
if he’s going then the horse’s front-left leg is broken
horse is going, man is coming :P
judging by the shadows, looks like he’s coming towards us. The horse’s shadow is difficult, but the dog (assuming the dog is traveling WITH the horse)is almost definitely coming towards us. Mostly because of the larger part of the shadow being lower on the horizon line, indicating that the head is closer to us.
he’s obviously comming, look at the horse’s leggs
He is obviously going toward the BOSTON BLOOMER GIRLS game …just raed the caption”To the Ball Park He wends his way To see the Game on Bloomer Day”
comming toward us the tail is beetween his legs when he comes toward us if hes going away from us the tail is misplaced and i cant see the dog goin the other way
but the writing says he going away from us
TO THE BALL PARKS HE «WENDS HIS WAY» (GOES)
TO SEEEEEE THE GAME ON BLOOMER DAY
so he is going both ways
the dog is probably a herding dog witch cowboys use herding dogs will never be in front of you
I don’t see how he could be going?
can someone explain
I think they’re going away from us cuz’ if they were coming towards us that dog is about to be trampled by the horse.
i think that they are standing still obviously and are not going anwere
He is comming becauselook at his foot. if he was going away then you wouldnt see the foot.
I think he is going, because at first glance I thought he is definitely coming at me, but then when I looked closer I see the dog and its shadow and if he were walking slightly behind it would make more since that it is following the man on the horse, look at the lines on its body.
They’re coming because there are people at the seats there so the thing’s not over. If it was over then people would be coming out along with him.
HES GOING IT TRICKS YOU LOOK AT THE LEGS AND CONCENTRATE
