How many horses can you find in this picture?

It’s said that there are supposed to be 7 horses (including some partial ones, like a horse head and rear) depicted in the picture. If you’re unable to spot all seven, perhaps this amusing note from one of our top scientists (and puzzle enthusiasts) might assist: “Knowing that we’re searching for seven certainly helps. In that case, I see one on the left peering out, and in the middle, four faces are closely grouped – within that cluster, the brown nose of one (second from the left) obscures the right side of the face of the one crouched lowest. To the right, there’s a small horse standing sideways, and above it is the rear of the seventh. Unless I’m seeing things.” Hopefully, that clarifies things. But if you still can’t spot more than five or six horses (at least partially), take comfort in the fact that you’re among the many who believe that the actual number of horses depicted in this picture should be five.
