Is this happiest horse in the world?

Bizarre pictures showed what appeared to be the happiest horse in the world.

Bragi Ingibergsson, 56, was stunned when he began taking photos of the beautiful brown stallion and it contorted its lips into what looks like an ecstatic smile, dailymail.co.uk reported.

The horse stuck its tongue out at the photographer as he pressed the shutter on the camera in Blaskogabyggd, Iceland.

Posing perfectly still to have his picture taken, the stallion looked as if he was laughing at the intruder in his ¿eld.

Bragi had stopped to take pictures of a group of horses by the roadside.

While four of them didn’t appear to notice him, the ¿fth pulled all sorts of strange expressions.

Church minister Ingibergsson, of Reykjavik, Iceland, said: “I love taking photos of horses and I spotted a group of four horses together in a ¿eld.

“When I saw them, I had to stop and spent around 20 minutes just taking some photographs.

“I was taking some pictures of another horse which was lying on the ground relaxing, it looked very beautiful.

“When I turned around, I saw this horse looking at me with his mouth wide open just like he was laughing at me.

“I turned my camera immediately, because I just had to get some pictures of it.

“When I saw the smile on his face, I got excited but knew from my experience of taking pictures of horses that I only had a few moments to get a photo.”
