Can’t believe I feel the need to post this but so many people saying
“AI”
“Where did the second horse appear from”
“I’d jump out too if I was stuck in a tiny pen”

Y’all are making a lot of assumptions about what you *think* you see.
- She was in an acre paddock with other horses. She was just running up that fence line where the angle and zoom I was filming from didn’t show the rest of the paddock.
- When I took one horse out (you see a flash of his nose at the start) the mare decided she would not be staying there.
- The second horse was always there, he just didn’t appear at the beginning of the edited clip. When she jumped out he came running over then slammed his anchors on, appearing to be casually standing there when I panned back.
- Her feet don’t go through the gate, she just barely made it - you can hear her back feet clip the gate.
- If it was AI I’d have cleaned up the rubbish in the background and made her jump more graceful at least 🙄

I find it really scary and sad that AI is so good now that people can’t tell what is real anymore.
