Explanation:

Horse latitude exists between 30 – 35 degree latitudes on both sides of equator. High altitude air currents descend along this altitude. So, the weather is warm and dry with very less rainfall. Hadley Cell exists between ITCZ and Horse latitude whereas Farrell Cell exists between Horse latitude and Polar front.
