I've said throughout that none of this proves anything about the sun being relevant to the horse. I don't think it is in all likelihood. The point I've been trying to get across is that you and ED are dismissing the possibility because of the fixed static alignment of the horse and the fact it doesn't line up with sunset. Whereas I take the view that the horse is capable of being interpreted as facing the sunset or moving towards it when you view it as an artistic representation from the direction where it is best seen as a horse, heading along a hillside. Not all intentions have to be explained by rigid proof or angles of alignment, in my view sometimes appearance and perception are equally as important when looking at a monument.
