So you can clearly see that the text on the buggy is flipped, hence Photoshop Disaster. There might be other things wrong with the image too.
Thanks to Geir!

Insect horse!
"Drei Beiner hätt' - umfallen tät'!"
How can the horse have 6 legs?! Especially one growing from another...
Sleipnir!
It is clearly meant to represent that the horse is going so fast that ... um ... evolution has sped up for it! Yes, that's it! And in the process of breeding the fastest horse that ever lived, two extra legs have sprouted! In another hundred yards, the seventh and eighth will have developed, and buds where wings will soon form shall appear. Darwinism in action caught on film and you call it a PSD!
Horse = galloping
PS Artist = galumphing
Agree with John, someone cloned Sleipner to cheat at the races!
It's not a disaster. It's art.
Sleipnir can also be a valid explanation.
Finally something Norwegian :D
Cubism?
absolutely nothing wrong with that photo - have you never seen a 6 legged horse?
not a disaster -- my girlfriend can do that.
wait.
What a disaster. A horse has 8 legs obviously: two in front, two in the back and two on each side.
Methinks they tried to put two horse together.

thats all rubbish, its just a classical horse from oslo. they are meant to have six legs =)
Cool! Isn't that Sleipnir, the horse of the Norse god Odin?
Is Agip changing their logo to a six-legged horse?

Every horse has six legs. It has two legs in the back and forelegs in the front.
Yes, that is a very old joke.
It's ART! maybe questionable but intended.
Quite often ancient sculpture of moving animals like horses, bulls and mythological creatures were represented with one or two additional leg to show the action.
this happened in different cultures all over the world.
It's art. You rarely see such a beautiful blend. :)
c'mon !
we should be clapping!
cant you see someone actually PAID someone to make this? ahah
I tried to figure out what gait the horse was at and my head exploded...
LOL it's a failure because there are two legs missing. Sleipnir should have 8.
Actually, my horse can do this...

it's going so fast that it defies logic!
No, see, it's Norway. They use Sleipnir for the races there.
what's with the japanese spam/
"For the sake of humanity, I hope that statement is supposed to be ironic."No, no, no. I bet he was being completely serious. I mean, it's clearly not like he was telling a joke. This "not joking" theory seems to be all the more likely to be true as nobody has ever heard this joke before. There's no doubt he really thinks that every horse has eight legs. He obviously wasn't kidding. I don't know why you would even consider that.
pootpoot, i think she was referring to the fact that he implied 2+2+2=8
except he didn't and i should get more than no hours sleep before reading math. move along, nothing to see. take your multi-legged beast and be gone.
It's one thing using sleipnir as a symbol for speed and so on... But sleinir has eight legs, and the horse at the picture is a... six-legged strange insect horse???
Bred for improved acceleration.
Sleipnir! The horse who's father is a man!
(Seriously, parts of the Edda are really obscure)
But, no, wait, Sleipnir had eight legs.
AH! I know! They did not edit two legs IN, but OUT!
Ha, awesome. At first I thought it was a case of amateurish blurring. Then I saw, and I was impressed at the fail.
Count the legs and u know that its definitely a horsefly
Has anybody else noticed that the unicorn's horn has been airbrushed out?
By the way, that horse is really fast!
HAHA,ok this is jz cool.
art + culture = 6 legged horse?
Wicked.
Aloha gwy9etc,
"i think she was referring to the fact that he implied 2+2+2=8"He wrote "two in front, two in the back and two on each side" and that's 2+2+2+2 in my book.
I'd like to point out, though, that he forgot to count the legs in the corners, making for a total of 12 legs.
Oh, and L., I see that you've deleted your comment. I hope you didn't take offense, I was just kidding. ,-)
The hoofcare costs must be astronomical for that horse.
Yeah, I couldn't be bothered to read the previous posts either so I'll just mention Sleipnir in the hope nobody already has.
What's that?..they already have?..Oh..erm..nevermind.
You'd think with so many legs he'd have one on the ground somewhere. That horse really flies!
wv: yectoder
I first concluded the Disaster was the perspective and the fact that the horse is "kinda" flying. But then, the legs.
Finally, a true PSD! Unless it's a new hybrid built for six-legged speed...
Actually, it's a 'hokey-cokey' horse - except that someone forgot to take the left and right legs out again. Wouldn't be surprised if they also forgot to shake it all about.
I really think that they were going for the Sleipnir effect, since the competition is in Oslo.
There are really TWO horses in that photo. Do you need me draw a MS Paint diagram?
Has anyone mentioned Sleipnir yet? I don't want to read all those comments and besides I am so funny.
Oh Sophisticate did. Never mind.
Hey MJ yes you're right there has never been a real disaster on this blog until now. You're the man.
Ohmy, it's Sleipnir!
Spider hourse, spider hourse. Does whatever a spider hourse does. Can he swing... *sings*
Thanks Gisela, you've made my day.
This is known as a spider-horse. He wins all the races he enters, provided he doesn't trip on his own legs!
True fact!!
I will only say one thing: WTF!
So judging by the blur there is a HUGE guy sitting in the audience in yellow clothes?
John right, Sleipnir, but 2 legs are missing.
You gotta hand it to these Norwegian guys. They sure know how to breed their horses.
woot! the 6 legged horse wins
6 legs? Cheater!!
damn, i hate it when they flip the photo...
I don't see any problem, everyone knows that racing horses are fast because they have additional legs !!!
Don't you know; six legged horses run faster.
Isn't Sleipnir the horse ridden on the end of days? OH SHI-
Like "Eni's logo," a beast from Divine Comedy
A 6 legged horse, dayum!
6 legs.
Flipped text.
What's with the weird blur that only affects part of the objects moving?
The horse is flying.
The buggy is under the rear of the horse instead of behind it.
I think I used to work with the guy who did this.
Normally I disagree with the people who say something wasn't a failure when it was posted here. But I'm having a lot of trouble seeing the failure in this case. This is deliberate and achieved what the PSD operator set out to achieve. You may think it's a bad choice or even stupid, but it's not clear that there is a failure of any sort, or at least not one that has anything to do with Photoshop. In fact the number of people who didn't notice the six legs at first indicate that it was actually done fairly well.
I'm even going to have to take your word that the text is flipped since I can't tell from what's posted here, and if it's that hard to make out then we're really straining at gnats here.
There may be bad artistic decisions but the Photoshop work isn't part of whatever problem there may be.
The jockey is next to the horse, not behind it (check out the human legs behind the sea of horse legs). He probably positioned himself that way to keep the horse's tail from beating him in the face.
Or, he is the jockey of the horse next to this one, the one who was erased except for his legs and then that extra wheel and frame was added to make it look like he was the jockey for this horse.
Why they went though all that trouble for a picture that still looks crappy is a mystery to me.
Smidt, how can you say that people didn't notice the beast had six legs? Am I imagining the phrase "six legs" appearing a multitude of times in these comments?
This is an absolute disaster and I'm struggling to find any excuses for it.
Let's pretend for the sake of argument that the horse intentionally has six legs. It doesn't change the fact that the horse has four legs on one side and only two on the other. Could this secretly be the REAL wreck? The world may never now.
Additionally the photoshopping that was done is absolute rubbish, anyway, with legs intersecting other legs. If you're going to try to do something clever it needs to be done well. Still assuming that the horse intentionally has six legs, of course.
thanks for the funny, keep them coming! Reposted at http://iamhilarious.com/photoshop-disasters/
maybe the horse have 6 legs. It can run faster...
This should be in National Geographic's "Oddest Creatures"
Nothing wrong with the picture really.
The guy is just using Odin`s horse.
This is a poor edit job by someone who has NO idea what a Standardbred trotter looks like at full speed in harness. Here are a few points to show why, IMHO, I think this is a "classic" Photoshop Disaster:
I would bet there were TWO racers in the original image and one of them was NOT eradicated in the finished image. Here's why:
1.) Note the scale of the legs; some are really thin and some fatter; it's not the motion effects that are causing that.
Neither do the legs join to the body where they should but look "pasted on" wherever.
2.) The horse looks as if it has a really badly trimmed mane:
Standardbreds race with full flowing manes and tails. The mane should blow back top to bottom, not sharply "in-and-out", the only way the background would even come close to doing that effect "at speed". Instead, it looks as if someone got too free with the scissors and cut a really big chunk out before the race.
3.) Note also that it's almost impossible to tell if the horse is "on gait" (at a trot) or has "broken stride" (gone into a gallop). It can be either and a gallop is a "no-no" in a harness race.
However, if there were TWO horses originally? Both could have been "on stride" but the resulting one animal appear to be a racer who cannot stay "flat" (trotting).
In other words, the "six-legged equine" was a poor way to imply speed.
4.) Now, the sulky ("bike"):
How in the heck can one explain why the left fork (the structure that holds the wheel) does not match up with the left side of the sulky? It, instead, hangs out there toward the outer rail!
5.) Yes, modern sulkies do ride lower to the ground than in the past (for aerodynamics). However, as far as I know, most drivers actually SIT on the end of the tail (if it's left loose and not braided) or tied down to the sulky so they won't end up with tail in their face.
This driver isn't and it ain't...and see where the tail is aiming: Right straight into his face. It's as if the PS "artiste" may have "stretched out" the sulky to keep the tail out of the driver's eyes.
Or edited in the tail of, let's say, a galloping horse? Like a "cut and paste" from the photo of a THOROUGHBRED (running) race? (The tails of Standardbreds are left full and thick ("natural"); that tail looks "pulled" (thinned and shortened by literally pulling hairs out of the tail).
And, no, the angle does not explain that appearance, not totally anyway.
6.) And what is it with the "extra" harness girth right about where one would expect to find the second girth on a Western stock saddle or a "bucking strap"?
Look carefully: The actual girth is forward of that, right behind the withers, as it should be (the "thimbles and tie downs" for the sulky--which hold it in place--are behind the number plate attached to the harness).
Racing harnesses are also light weight and have NO extraneous items to save weight. That "extra" strap serves no purpose at all:
It's not a hobble (hopple) hanger (an aid to keep the horse on gait almost always used only with pacers;trotters rarely use them). For that it's the wrong design and appears to attach to nothing.
It's not a crupper (loop that anchors the back of the harness down that runs around and under the dock (root) of the tail). Wrong location again.
It does not act to hold the sulky shafts in place. The closest equivalent to what appears to be there is not part of a racing harness.
It is not holding on a protective "boot" (too thick and in the wrong location).
It's not even the loose end of some strap (which would indicate sloppy handlers if there were such a thing in that picture).
unfair advantage!
Haha! awesome! i'm a norwegian and this photo rocks :D
don't you people know that we actually have six legged horses here?
