Ah, yes. Now that I look at the cutaway drawing in your initial post I can see that the horse's feet are indeed below the deck, driving the turntable. I couldn't get past my initial visualization of a simple vertical shaft that the horses would be tethered to, which would revolve when they walked the circular trackway, and a set of gears below deck, redirecting the drive horizontally. You've set me straight. This is really going to be a unique model of an interesting type of boat. One that I was unaware of. It sure makes sense, though. Looking forward to your future posts.
