Pictured: The amazing moment a horse did a perfect somersault

If it had been an equestrian gymnastics event, she would have scored a perfect 10.

After all, it's not every day you see a horse perform a gravity-defying flip of such dizzying proportions.

That horse is extremely lucky it is still alive, let alone not seriously injured.

Scary pictures. *shudder*

Perfect would imply that she landed on her feet.

All four at the very least. For a truly perfect display she would have landed with on her back legs with her front legs spread wide.

I agree completely. Very misleading. I feel let down.

*edit* I edited the description to clarify. That way nobody else feels let down when they find out that the horse totally screwed up the landing.
