Haha sorry couldn't help it.
You mean Skittles?
I own a mountain Pony, well hes half miniature, half horse... technically. When he trots there is fairly little actual leg movement, and very little
vertical motion. Also at what point in that vid do you even see any legs at all? Pitty there is no sound since even my Pony makes a hell of a thud
when just doing a slow trot... that horse looks pretty big and moving at a panicked clip so it would have made a hell of a racket and the filmer would
have heard it FAR sooner... love the cliche 'im filming the sun' start... all these vids have the filmer pointing the cam at some ridiculous thing
just prior to the event.
Also people need to stop using the term CGI for every thing they think is fake... the horse is more than likely real, and either there, or a composite
of two sets of footage... while a composite is technically CGI, when you have people saying things like 'its rendered poorly' it makes me want to face
palm my desk. That horse isnt from my eyes a 3d construction... the horn possibly, and its fairly decently integrated. Id say its a composition since
the definition between the foreground bush and the horse behind it is damn blurry you'd expect to see even with lots of compression some more raggedy
edges between white horse and bush. Instead it sort of blends in smoothly.
But all this talk about it being a fake horse since its legs dont move is laughable.

The below video is the original and is 44 seconds long. This guy lives up the mountain from me. He is a bit odd but a nice fellow.

Errr that video is just some Pinto horses... and he says their Unicorns... oh dear. I weep for the world
Edit:- Hmmm I remember there was a site i once found that had some interesting ideas about what true unicorns were, when viewed from an Asian middle
east perspective and their legends about similar animals like Ki-rin and they came to the conclusion it may have once been the last remaining few of a
species of ancient mammal from the Pliocene or some similar era that interacted with early tribal humans in Asia. The neat thing was the websites
research showed interestingly that the very early stories and descriptions of such animals where nothing at all like the white, 1 horned magical horse
we eventually made popular in our culture. In fact the 'unicorn' sounded more like a dull thick headed brute of a beast if i remember correctly.
