∙ 12y agoHorses will generally plant their front legs straight in front of them first. Once they are braced, they will swing their hindquarters towards vertical and plant their hind legs underneath them. However, some horses will occasionally rise by planting their back legs first then swinging their weight backwards to slip their front legs underneath them.

How do you notice a limp on horse?
The first signs you might see is if a horse is holding its front foot off the ground (resting a back leg is normal however) or limping noticeably when it walks. You should call the vet. He will probably ask you to lead the horse at a trot away from him and then towards him. The horse's head will nod when the good leg hits the ground and jerk up when the bad leg comes down. If the limp is in a hindleg, the hindquarter of the other leg will also drop when that foot hits the ground.
