But I am going to dig my (spurred) heels in over the fact that the horse faces to the right, and the sunset is further to the right of that, so the horse is facing towards the sunset.

But the horse is not facing towards the sunset , it is facing to a part of the horizon where the sun is never seen to set from the perspective of the horse . If you want to see the sun set somewhere you just adjust your viewing position ,but we are talking about viewing from the perspective of the orientation of the horse .
Ignoring that all important perspective is having your jaffa and digestive and eating both packets .
