This is called pivoting...to start you have to reach it as groundwork.
What works best for my horses is pointing the lead rope at the eye (the part you hold), then kiss and cluck & walk towards the horses food dish area.
If your horse steps backward (out of the pivot) then re-set & walk a little more towards the head/throat latch area.
If your horse steps forward( out of the pivot) then you need to step towards the withers. To know if your horse will step out of the pivot before it happen is by looking at it's legs & hooves...if the rear legs and the front legs are stretched far apart than he/she will most likely step forward, but if the legs are squeezed together he/she will most likely step backwards.
All of this is in-hand on the ground.
As for in the saddle... what works best for my horses is putting more of your seat weight on the side of the foot you want your horse to pivot on (the hoove that will stay on the ground). This way it's like "planting the hoof".
As for leg and rein cues, "open the door" to let your horse pivot through. With reins this means if you are pivoting to the right your right rein should be slack and kind of drooping (letting your horse pass through it) and the left rein should be applying pressure to the left side of the horses neck...encouraging him/her to pivot. Visa versa for the left pivot.
With leg cues you need to apply pressure with the left leg for right pivoting & pressure with the right leg if you are left pivoting. The leg opposite of the leg you are applying pressure with should not be applying pressure thus creating a "door" your horse can pivot through. Every horse is different, so this training technique may not work for him/her...if you are having difficulties you should talk to trainers in your area.

Who does the work when riding a horse the horse or the rider?
The Horse should work harder than the rider, if the horse is working correctly, this will be the case. The rider does a lot of work to keep the horse going/moving where he should. The rider uses their arms, legs, seat, hands, and weight balance to communicate to the horse. The horse works also since he is the one moving his body in the pace and direction that the rider asks for. Horse and rider are a team.
