Is there a second horse hiding behind the first? Or a slightly smaller one stood in front?

If you’re unable to crack the image within the first couple of seconds then it’s unlikely that scrutinising every pixel of the image is going to help, as optical illusions are something which are deliberately created to deliberately mislead your brain.

It’s usually the case that people can either easily spot an optical illusion within the first few seconds or are completely lost until someone points it out in black-and-white – which is usually followed by the ‘oh yeah’ light-bulb moment after your brain adjusts.

Still curious about where the second horse is? Look no further as we’ve got the answer for you below.

Yep that’s right, the second horse you were looking for was the pattern of the animal’s coat, which appears to spell out the word ‘H O R S E’.

Which to be fair the optical illusion only asked you to locate the second horse, it never said anything about spotting two animals.

It’s there which lies the fun in optical illusions, they force us to think about of the box and use our brain’s to come up with creative solutions.

For those who didn’t spot it, don’t worry.

It’s highly unlikely that noticing the word horse written on the side a horse is an accurate representation of IQ anyway.
