The Poke platform provided a fantastic video of a horse seeing itself in the mirror for the first time. The recording, which lasted less than one minute, quickly became viral on the Internet, as the ungulate did not react to its own reflection in any way: it playfully jumped away from it, then always returned, as if it had smelled something unknown or exciting at the mirror.
It’s hard to decide what was going through his mind: maybe there was another horse on the other side of the small window, or he was just marveling at his own beauty. In any case, Internet users were amused by the horse’s reaction.
