A horse is one of the most elegant, fascinating, and stately animals in existence. But, not for that reason, on certain occasions, they could show a strong character and a funny and disconcerting personality, which leaves many speechless.

A dramatic horse named Jingang has greater ambitions than being a mere steed. He has devised a unique way to keep ᴘᴇsᴋʏ riders off: by playing ᴅᴇᴀᴅ anytime he’s mounted.

Jingang has got the ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ trick ᴅᴏᴡɴ so well that he even loosens his tongue and puts his hooves in ᴡᴇɪʀᴅ positions to make it look like he can go on no longer.

Not all horses enjoy hard work. His owners say it happens whenever people get onto the saddle.

“He’s just playing ᴅᴇᴀᴅ,” sighs a bemused horseman, whose point is proved when Jingang stands up immediately after the ʀᴇjᴇᴄᴛᴇᴅ rider ʟᴇᴀᴠᴇs. However, when the cowboy makes it like he’s trying to make a second pass at the horse, Jingang topples to the dirt once again.

It doesn’t seem to appreciate being ridden by others as a horse should. Instead, it goes out of its way to ᴀᴠᴏɪᴅ doing its job. Jingang the horse pretends to be ‘ᴅᴇᴀᴅ’ in an overly-thᴇᴀᴛrical way. It’s silly. It’s funny. And it’s proof that some animals would rather laze about than earn their carrots like we do — by the swᴇᴀᴛ of our brows.

Jingang’s Oscar-worthy performance has prompted an outpouring of support online, with one newfound fan musing, “That horse is a genius, wish wish I could just do that every time someone I don’t like comes near me.” LOL
