Optical illusion of spinning horse leaves viewers BAFFLED – but can you tell what’s going on?
A BIZARRE optical illusion of a spinning horse has left viewers absolutely baffled – with no one able to work out what is going on.
The viral video on TikTok shows a peculiar geometric horse rotating – but it is hard to work out which way its travelling.
It asks the simple question: “What direction is the horse rotating?”
The video was posted by TikToker TrippyHub and has racked up well over 6 million views.
It’s also raked in a whopping 290,000 likes.
But it seems to have the internet utterly stumped.
As the horse spins, it appears to flip its head, and then spin back the other way – sparking confusion amongst those who see the illusion.
The mysterious clip ignited conversation on the video sharing platform – with many users offering their own observations.
One user responded, suggesting: “I can only see left omg.”
While another even claimed “I can control which way it moves” when they watched it.

But another user offered an altogether different suggestion: “It’s alternating back and forth. Not spinning.
“Look at the shadows cast behind the head on the neck. They would disappear at one point if spinning.”
Others even suggested that the front and back half of the horse are actually rotating separately from each other.
While a number of users claimed that you have to squint to see the direction of the horse.
