How is the change of leads accomplished...? Does the horse have both front legs in the air at one time during which the flip is made...? Or is there some subtle shuffle that takes place...is a right lead defined by the right hoof being in front when it touches the ground...? Do the rear legs ever change "leads"...

The best close up example of a horse changing leads I've seen was in the movie Seabiscuit. At the end of the movie when Seabiscuit is running down the stretch about to win the SA handicap. They show a close up of Seabiscuit in slow motion in which he changes leads - its kind of a skipping motion.
