(See: this [deer](http://time.com/4096794/deer-photobombs-sleeping-baby/ "undefined") photobombing a sleeping baby, this [whale](http://time.com/4020546/beluga-whale-connecticut-press-conference-malloy/ "undefined") photobombing the governor of Connecticut, this [dog](http://time.com/4089551/couples-dog-epically-photobombs-engagement-pictures/ "undefined") photobombing his owners’ engagement photos, and so on.) But it’s a new year and we’ve got a new photobombing animal in town. And this one is going to be tough to top: The photo made its way [to Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/3zejg6/when%5Fa%5Fhorse%5Fphotobombs%5Fyou/ "undefined") on Monday, where it quickly became one the most popular posts on the entire site. We don’t know too many details beyond that — but really, the image says it all.
