Many people get it wrong: Can you find all the horses in this picture?

In the 70s, the famous artist Bev Doolittle and her husband traveled to the southwestern US. During her trip, she was inspired to paint this impressive and strange painting. Ever since its creation, people have been asking one question: how many horses are there in the picture?

The beautiful painting uses a camouflaging effect which makes it tricky to make out the proud animals from the background.

Solution:

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!
