Animals look in the same direction,
that means, normally to the enemy.
So one side leftways, other side rightways.

Question on caparison from middle age

To anyone acknowledgable in Middle Age:
When a heraldic contains a lion, or salamander, for example, and looking to the left, is the orientation of these animals appearing on the caparison of the horse
(1) identical (animals looking to the left on both sides), or
(2) opposed on each side = so on the the side where the knight holds his shield, to the left as on his shield; and the other side, they look to the right, so to the front of the horse ??
