If you look down to the front inside leg when your horse is cantering, it should be taking a shorter stride then the outside leg, and that will tell you that the horse is on the wrong lead. You don't nesesarily need to see the whole leg, you can just watch the shoulders, and that will tell you to.

First you have to put yourself in a two point postion. Back straight, inside reins up outside reins taught, with the horses head pointing to the outside.
