Additional comment

A pattern will have horizontal reflection if there exists a vertical line about which the pattern can be reflected to itself. That is, there exists one (or more) vertical lines of symmetry.

Similarly, the pattern will have vertical reflection if there is a horizontal line about which the pattern can be reflected to itself. Such a line is a horizontal line of symmetry.
