There have been many optical illusions randomly appearing on the internet which have left a number of people puzzled.
The latest illusion to split the internet, however, is a painting of a group of horses – and no one can quite seem to agree on how many horses are actually there.
How many horses can you see?
Very few people manage to get it right on their first try. Can you do it? Ready, set, and go!

So it turns out that there are 5 horses in the picture. Four in the middle, and one to the far left.

Are there more?
Some people claim that there’s a sixth and the seventh horse in this painting.
These people say that there’s a sixth horse behind the ones in the middle. Personally, I don’t see it, but you might be one of the ones who can.
There’s also a rocky outcropping behind the herd, which can be interpreted as an abstract horse.
You judge for yourself – but personally, I think 5 horses is the right answer!

Apparently, only 1 in 7 people can spot the quintet on their first try!
