Horizontal dropouts face forward and are sloped at an angle to match the rear brake pads, so they don't have be readjusted as you move the rear wheel position in the dropout. Either type dropout can be used with either a singlespeed freewheel or fixed gear setup, since they both allow for chain tension adjustment.
