The pictures were taken in the Salt River, located in the Tonto National Forest, in the US state of Arizona. Kelly Rogers, 58, was a standing rower who was lucky enough to catch the murky situation. After all, were the horses floating or were they in a sinking canoe?

If you are really trying to find a sinking boat or a reasonable explanation for what happened, know that the reason is much simpler than it seems. What happens in the video is nothing more than an optical illusion effect.

The horses actually stand in a less deep part of the river, near the bank. Kelly is the one who moves and the angle of the shots makes it look like the horses are floating in front of her.

“It was a moment where they were still completely in a few inches of water,” Kelly told the newspaper. When they didn’t move.

The truth is that the photo has been circulating on social media and many people are not yet aware of the placebo effect that takes place in it. That is, some Internet users are still looking for logical explanations for the event.
