HIDDEN inside a photo of a dashing-looking horse is a picture of a man’s face who is its owner.
A horse is easy to spot in this illusion, but a human face is much trickier – you might have a high IQ if you can spot it in a quick seven seconds.

The hidden owner of the horse is called Wild Bill Hickok.
The illusion dates to 1880 and was the face of a trading card used as advertising, according to Getty.
The exchange card says: “St. Julian – Where’s Hickok?
It was part of a series of illusions for children.
Did you find Hickok in seven seconds?
If not, here’s a clue – the owner’s face is a pretty big part of the horse.
Horses had many uses in 1880.
At the time, they were used to pull carriages, buses and trolleys on streets along with barges on canals, according to the American Museum of Natural History.
It was an industrial period, but horses worked alongside machines.
The 1880s are also known as the “Heydey of the Horse”.
Did you manage to find the owner of the wild horse now?
Another clue is that Hickok is pictured with lush hair.
Try again and you will be shocked where Hickok is hidden.
It’s impossible to be unseen once you find it.
The last clue to help you spot Hickok is to tilt your head to the right.
After tilting your head to the right, you should be able to find the horse’s owner.
The answer is that Hickok’s face is the horse’s entire hindquarters.
The ponytail is Hickok’s hair.
Let’s hope you were able to spot the horse’s owner in less than seven seconds.
The answer is also highlighted below.
