They dont actually say WHY the farmer would ride the horse on the left; but the rest makes sense. In mining operations in the States, I've heard that the big huge dump trucks drive on the opposite side (left) for safety reasons. The driver's cab is in the "normal" spot (left of the vehicle) so if they bump into another mining truck, only the front right of the truck will get hit, keeping the driver safe.
