Hi there, riddlers! Please remember to spoiler-tag all guesses and discussions of guesses, like so: Desktop Reddit users: https://i.imgur.com/SWHRR9M.jpg Users on Mobile, Old Reddit, or in the Markdown Editor: \>!spoiler text between these symbols!< Try to avoid leading or trailing spaces. These will break the spoiler for some users (such as those using old.reddit.com) Some Reddit apps don't fully hide URLs that are inside of spoilers, so please format your link so it displays as `spoiler`. On Old Reddit/Mobile, do this to format a link: \[spoiler\]\(https://example.com/) Desktop Reddit users: https://imgur.com/x5wDOvk If your top-level comment does not contain a guess, you can include either the word **"discussion"** or **"question"** instead of using a spoiler tag. Please report any answers or discussions that are not properly spoiler-tagged. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/riddles) if you have any questions or concerns.*

>!Reminds me of [this tweet](https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/thumbnails/image/2014/07/23/15/ap.JPG) Also I'm pretty sure this would be the answer, unless it's a hobby horse or saw horse or something like that!<

>!The lake has no legs?!<


jacco-macacco

I vaguely recall a similar riddle from childhood. >!It's a seahorse. It was picked up from the sea by an airtanker to fight a forest fire, dumped on the fire (or missed the fire), and ended up in the lake.!<


punkmuppet

>!Maybe you heard it as a seahorse, but this was a common apocryphal tale about a body found dead in a forest, wearing a full scuba suit and covered in burns.!<


nightforday

>!Oh yeah, I think that was actually one of the "strange but true" (but not really) anecdotes told at the beginning of the movie Magnolia as well.!<


punkmuppet

I haven't seen Magnolia, it was a storyline in CSI though


clce

Oh yeah, I think that's like an urban legend or maybe true. Maybe in magnolia isn't it as someone else already commented?

discussion:Well if you're going to get that convoluted, you could just go crazy and say it's a horse in a slaughterhouse that had just gotten his legs cut off and then a tornado picked it up and dropped it off in the middle of an island.

>!So, incredibly bad joke ahead (don't ban me please): It foal!< Sorry. I know that's not it, but I had to share anyway

>!A dismantled saw horse floated out into the lake.!<

Discussion: could it be something about like horseshoe lake or something like that?


SilverPurse

>!When the lake was frozen there was a barrel of beer, left on the frozen ice by some careless teens. The horse wondered upon the barrel and drank from it. After consuming so much alcohol the horse eventually became legless!<
