Hilarious! Group of Wild horses playing on a slope group of horses playing on a slope in Japan.

We all love having a laugh with our friends.

And for this herd of horses, nothing could be more pleasurable than hanging out together, soaking up the summer sun - group of horses playing on a slope .

Bizarre footage has emerged of the group of horses playing on a slope in Cape Toi, Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan.

Four of adults can be seen on their backs as a baffled foal watches.

In amongst the mane flicking, hoof kicking and tail swishing, it is not clear whether the horses are trying to scratch their backs, have a sliding race down the hill, or perhaps rid themselves of irritating flies.

The animals are believed to be wild horses, known as Misaki-uma, that live and graze on the slopes of the Cape, according to Japan's National Tourism Organisation.

The organisation's website said: 'It is said that the Misaki-uma are the descendants of army horses left grazing and which became wild 300 years ago.

'They are now designated as a natural monument.'

But this herd seem to prefer to enjoy life's simple pleasures of sliding down lush banks instead of worrying about monuments and their rich history.

As the video comes to an end, the horses finish off their bizarre performance, shake themselves down, and return to their grazing.
