Adding to what wrholt said, the elements of the sentence, the parts of speech, can almost appear in any order. Only the indirect object pronoun 'le' must appear before the verb. The other parts of the speech, the subject and the indirect object, if used, can appear before the verb or after the verb and in either order.
What is the direct object in the English equivalent ((the) horses) becomes the subject in Spanish. The indirect object is easy to see if you include the preposition, as shown below. The indirect object pronoun is mandatory, and is, for all intents and purposes, redundant.
(The) horses are pleasing to the girl.
