Your view ignores something that you know to be true i.e. the horse is not galloping to the west .

The best angle to see the horse is from above . How does that fit into good views with the sun set to the right ? That doesn't mean that there are not plenty of good views of the entire feature to be seen from other points ,including points to the west of the manger where the sunset will not be to the right i.e. it would be behind you . This refutes "And for anyone viewing the horse from a position where its horsiness can actually be seen, the sunset will be to their right. "

You didn't explain why having the sunset in a particular direction is salient , but do seem keen to show that it is somehow important despite accepting
" that there's nothing whatever to prove a link between the horse and the sun "
