Why there are different horses on Ferrari cars?
Discussion
Always wondered about different horses on Ferrari cars. Why they are different? Are both of them correct and came from the factory?
Below are examples exactly for Ferrari 612. But those different horses are also seen on other Ferrari cars.
See ferrari horses on the grill (tail of the horse):
This looks to me correct:
This looks to me not correct:

So lets get this correct : you are suggesting because not every horse looks absolutely the same as every other and are not oriented in exactly the same direction almost all Ferraris have crash damage

Are you suggesting Ferraris are coming from the factory with wrong horses (wrong shape tail and/or wrongly put)?Do you believe Elvis is alive & living on the moon too ?
Looking at printed original Ferrari brochures, I don't see wrong horses, that's why I am asking....

The horses on the front of the cars have been positioned differently since 2004.
Those that lean to the right are made in the west wing of the Ferrari factory. Those leaning to the left are made in East wing of the factory which is shared with Maserati. Therefore, the left wing made cars (called internally "modello sinistra") are built by Maserati employees on a contract basis. Which means those Ferrari's are not made at the Factory Ferrari and are therefore worth less on the used market.
Beware of horse's being moved from the left to the right by unscrupulous dealers. The way to check is to feel the back side of the horses arse. Make sure you give it a good finger. If there is a ridge, it is a leftie.

Oh I see like the Twix bar makes perfect sense now Those that lean to the right are made in the west wing of the Ferrari factory.

You learn something new everyday! Great Knowledge!Those that lean to the right are made in the west wing of the Ferrari factory.

Interesting! When you buy a build slot, are you told whether it is East or West wing?Those that lean to the right are made in the west wing of the Ferrari factory.
