Title: Right vs. Left

Is the above image rotating clockwise or counterclockwise? 

If it's rotating clockwise you are currently left hemisphered (logic, analysis).

If it's rotating counterclockwise you are right hemisphered (emotions and intuition).

I always knew my neurological traits would one day be accurately judged by a .gif.

It was going clockwise, then the instant I voted and the page refresh flashed it was going anticlockwise.

Sleeping makes me emotional?

Depending on where I'm looking with the second one I can force myself to see it always go on the far side from me. Mostly if I watch the hoof, it's harder with the the scarf/hat. First one I can switch how I see it whenever it gets to a side position.

Do you see arrows pointing right or left?  What about in the second color reversed image?

I can see either set of arrows in..either set of pictures.

Right in the first, left in the second.

My eyes primarily followed the grey arrows in both.

I voted for counter-clockwise.
Then later it seemed like it was going clockwise and I can't switch back.

I need more data, but after a few days trying I'm noticed that if I look at the rotating figure I posted first it will appear to rotate clockwise and so will the pony, but if I look at the pony figure first it will appear to rotate counterclockwise and so will the original figure.  Maybe the pony figure somehow triggers my creative/emotional right brain.  Anyone notice something like this?

Also, right or left:
