The incredible image of an 85-day-old horse foetus

"It's long neck turned in on its body and domed head resting on a foreleg, this is the amazing picture of an 85-day horse foetus.

Spotted by a British photographer on a visit to a vet's surgery, the tiny foal's body has been preserved in a jar of formalin.

Tim Flach, who has worked for Adidas, Cirque du Soleil, Jaguar and Sony during his career in advertising, was so captivated by the foetus he took it home to shoot."
As well as the foetus, it features pictures of living horses from all around the world including the most highly-prized Arab thoroughbreds from the Royal yards of the UAE.

Flach also captured on film pure-bred Icelandic horses which live on glaciers and thousands of Mustangs racing across the plains of Utah.

The photographer graduated from the renowned St. Martins School of Art in London and has spent the last 20 years working taking pictures for advertising.
