When we are side passing to the right, it is a reach with the front right foot and step or catch up with the left. When we are spinning and applying left leg pressure, the horses are reaching with the inside (right) foot, and catching up with the left. So when we are teaching them to drive off into a lead, we are using that side pass training as the start to a lead departure.
