There could be a lot of explanations for a horse shifting its weight off one of its front legs. It could be feeling pressure due to lameness, and trying to relieve that pressure. If the horse appears to be leaning back on its "heels" in both front feet and it already prone to hoof problems, it could have laminitis. It could of course just be resting a leg too but that is more common with the back legs. Mostly it's important to undestand your horse's habits--the biggest indicator of a problem is behavior abnormal.
