Meet Your New Spirit Animal: Jingang, The Horse Who Plays Dead When Anyone Tries To Ride Him

Most of us have pretended to be sick to get out of work. Not wanting to work crosses all ethnicities, genders, religions, and yes even species. One of the most obvious examples is Jingang, the horse who plays dead when anyone tries to ride him.

Would you want someone hopping on your back every day?

Frasisco Zalasar posted a compilation video on his Instagram of the horse shirking his duties. It quickly went viral because, well, we all see a bit of ourselves in Jingang.

But Jingang doesn’t just pretend to be dead.

Jesus Christ, Jingang it’s just lunchtime. No one is going to ride you.

“Jingang is dead. Leave the carrots in memorial.”

But Frasisco doesn’t give up easily.

Unfortunately, neither does Jingang.

Jingang and I will have the same autobiography title.
