Determing what limb a lameness originates from can be difficult as horses may compensate by changing the gate of the diagonal leg (so if it's the front right, it may appear to be the back left). Determining which leg it is can take several different steps including trotting on soft and hard ground and working in circles. Having someone trot the horse away from you and to you can be helpful along with trotting the horse in a straight line across in front of you.
