I'm with Nathan on this. The re-angling and re-positioning of the sword seems to demonstrate this. It may not be anatomically perfect and the rider might have to be a contortionist to achieve that precise position but I think that Nathan is right in what the artist is trying to depict. It's certainly more plausible than the idea that the rider is seated backwards.
