it is nothing diffrent
From the direction they come from
In the days of sail, they would obviously want to be in the wind.
because the leeward side of a mountain doesn't get any rain like on the westward side, also air drops in horse latitudes, and when air drops it causes a dry climate
Earth's rotation causes the trade winds, in a way. If Earth didn't rotate, the wind at these latitudes would blow straight from the subtropical highs to the ITCZ.
There are many wind belts. Doldrums receive the most heat from the Sun. Trade winds extends past the doldrums 30 degrees. Horse latitudes is a wind belt that forms between 30 degrees north and south latitude.

The ship was becalmed in the horse latitudes for several days, with no wind to fill its sails.
westerlies, horse latitudes, and trade winds just making my guesses
Changes in pressure belts and wind.
The Horse Latitudes was created in 1919-04.
In the days of sail, they would obviously want to be in the wind.
Horse latitudes are between 30 and 35 degrees north and south. The horse latitudes are also known as the sub tropical latitudes. The pressure in the horse latitudes is called the subtropical high.
There the horse latitudes and the Doldrums. The doldrums are at 0 degrees latitude (equator), where the air rises instead of having a horizontal movement (wind). The horse latitudes are at about 30 degrees N and 30 degrees S of the equator. The horse latitudes are areas where the air falls, causing very low horizontal movement, also.
The cold, dry air at the horse latitudes does not bring much water to the continents.
