Yes, Richard, that's what I said, either you read the piano part down a fifth or using mezzo-soprano clef to make it match the horn pitch _or_ you read the horn part in C instead of in the usual F to make it match the piano's concert pitch. Perhaps I should have said "you must either play the piano part at _a horn's_ concert pitch" - that's what I meant. In simpler terms, you must transpose one or the other but not both. Am I missing something here?
