Rampant sure, but lion or horse? It looks like both.
General note on the scales: upon closer consideration this pattern on an animal can mean three things: scales, feathers, or an area of thicker fur/longer hair. It is found in the manes of bestiary horses and lions.
Since the whole body is covered, this makes me reconsider my stance on the ram. Especially since for scales and feathers the pattern would be drawn backwards. For fur, it doesn't matter which way they overlap, although I don't think I've seen examples of the VM direction elsewhere.
