Optical illusion: Can you find the hidden horse in 5 seconds?

Optical illusions are a fun way to challenge your brain to think outside the box and perceive that which is concealed from plain sight, but is nevertheless out there. An optical illusion is something that plays tricks on your vision, explains The National Eye Institute, US. “Optical illusions teach us how our eyes and brain work together to see. You live in a three-dimensional world, so your brain gets clues about depth, shading, lighting, and position to help you interpret what you see. But when you look at a two-dimensional image, your brain can be fooled because it doesn't get the same clues.”

Here is one such interesting image puzzle that has left netizens baffled. Can you solve it?
