Thanks joy, that was a really interesting piece to read - a little more knowledge for my rusty brain to retain! Didn't know about horses facing one way or the other, just goes to show you just accept what you see.
that is interesting! and you've made me want to go fix my bike up :)
Very nice photo and I too didn't know about the different direction.
