Here's a brief film clip of two weeks filly Flashy princess. She is confused about the barn door and does not know where to go. If you look at his hind legs, they do a lot of work she changes her mind to go forward and backward.
I'm trying to learn more about it, then I would be interested if any leaders or horse experts among you can offer your thoughts on the different roles of the front and hind legs in the movement of a horse.
