From the horse , given clear skies , you can face every sun set and sun rise on every day of the year , so what ? it is meaningless .


But why are you assuming the intention is to be looking "from the horse".

The view of the horse is far better appreciated from a distance, from the vale below. I don't think it matters what you can see from the horse. What matters is what you can see when viewing the horse from its optimum position (i.e. from a distance). And from a distance, the head of the horse is on the right, as will the setting sun be from the point of a viewer looking towards the horse from the vale.
