This website (
visit link) identifies the figures:
"The two representations of riders over the main façade of the loggia were erected in 1876. They were created by Ernst Julius Hähnel and represent two flying horses, illustrating Harmony and the muse of poetry (Erato)."
Although the horses are not identified here as representations of Pegasus, Wikipedia (
