The horse can be seen from a very wide area , much greater than a typical standing stone and due to it's size , much clearer . Because you saw it from the train doesn't give that particular viewing position any greater salience than many of the other viewing positions you ignore .

What you were told was wrong was this comment “And for anyone viewing the horse from a position where its horsiness can actually be seen, the sunset will be to their right. “ .That was shown to be wrong . There was no need or mention of angles or alignments .
