Darn it. I’ve counted legs and come up with 4.25 horses, although I see five horse faces. Are we sure that this wasn’t done by M.C. Escher, and the horses aren’t morphing into lizards, who then morph into birds?
Or is this an allegory of life? Inasmuch as there are seven horses claimed, therefore there are seven horses asses, but since only five horses are visible, this explains the origin of managers, as the extra horses asses have to go somewhere.

Ok ok so its not as bad as I thought- there is a link to one person talking about it
Oops. I didn’t mean any harm. I thought it was funny. Moderators please take out the link if it is a problem.
I have no idea about the truth of this Tattva but check out the reference to the Pintos poster in the bottom right hand box of this site and hope for the best.
I’ve checked google and can find no corroboration to the claim that there are seven horses in Pintos. Several sites mention five horses as a matter of fact.
Teebone: Some people view this stuff from work and they don’t like things that can get them in trouble. It scared the shit out of me, too!
Teebone, best you check out the FAQs in ATMB. That was a jack-in-th-box link. From the site guidelines there:
I’m not upset about it, but only because I spotted the darn thing and turned my sound off before the face could flash up. That one’s been done before.
Heh… if you dislike “Jack-in-the-Box” thingies, there’s one on the Stile Project’s webpage that’ll blow your mind. The FREAKIEST thing I have ever seen or heard (and not the surprise at the end, either)…
When in doubt, GOOGLEFIGHT!

I rest my case.
Thump Thump! (My heart)
The first time I saw the scary face picture - I was at work, there is no sound card at work.
Now I am at home. I have the picture behind some other webpages so it can’t scare me. I am happily going about my business, then SCREAM!!
Thanks.
Judging by the proportions of the skull, I think we’ve found the remains of a prehistoric superintelligent species of man… 
I’m sorry, I still see no more than five horses. Unless you want to get really creative, in which case I have seen 43 horses in the picture and more to come, surely.
Washte, maybe you could clue us in on the location of the other two horsies? Please? Because it’s really getting frustrating.
I just consulted Child Genius Little Brother, and he only sees 5. This must be a really difficult one.
Are you sure you’re not mixing this up with some other painting of hers, or a similar type illusion?
Because I know when I first looked at this picture I remembered a similar type painting that did have animals tucked away by their feet. In this one, however, I’m with everyone else in thinking and believing there are only five.
In the fine tradition of intelligence we are all trying to be too clever. The simple answer is - there are 5 horses, there was only ever meant to be 5 horses. The picture is not a ‘find the missing horses’ picture but rather a ‘marvel at the camoflauge effect on these 5 horses’ picture.
The joke/illusion website has been given the picture by someone who has told them that there are 7 horses. They have assumed that person is telling the truth and have uploaded the picture with the caption “there are 7”.
As a result of this lazy assumption - 20 or so intelligent people (including me) have spent hours staring at it - determined to find two horses that aren’t there.
I see 7 horses. This comes after a sleepless night of combined Sufi dancing, Tibetan chenresi practice, holotropic breathing, and shifting my assemblage point.
But when I open my eyes and look at the painting, I still only see 5 horses.
“And if the Party says that it is not five but seven - then how many?”
OMG! That is incredible, ahhahah
Part of me wishes I had the audio * and * visual experience of the Hidden Dogs picture (see previous post about why I didn’t)
The conscious needs waking up every now and then (even if there is a risk of a heart attack).
[Sixth Sense] I see horses… [/Sixth Sense]
For the love of god, can someone find the horse pic with the supposedly 7 horses outlined or something? Otherwise I fear it may drive me insane.
Is it work safe? Can you give its name, if a direct link isn’t suitable?
