What is an automatic head redeploy?
Well a lead is when a horse lopes/canters one hoof comes out farther than the other, if he is on the feft lead the vanished leg goes out farther, but if he is on the right lead the right leg comes out farther
not me but this horse is on his moved out lead because the right leg goes out farther

now a automatic front change is like a flying lead adjustment where it doesnt have to slow down to swich leads.
once again not me but here is one of a horse swiching lead.

In jumping, it refers to a horse changing it's head after jumping something. So if you were jump a little vertical and you were to jump it while on a right head, and after you jumped it (if you planned on going to the left) your horse would automatically switch to the left lead.
It could also refer to a horse varying it's lead when it changes direction, with no cues from the rider. I haven't ever hear it called that, because most people would call that a flying head change, but whatever. :P
Answers: An automatic lead change is a flying lead transformation done without rider interference. It's a positive trait in a lot of h/j horses because the rider doesn't enjoy to worry about cueing the horse to switch leads or man on the wrong lead because the horse will do it for her.
A simple lead change is when the horse have to break to a trot (or slower) and then pick up the lope/canter on the other lead. A flying change is when the horse "skips" and change the lead without breaking the canter. An automatic change, accordingly, is also a flying change--just without the rider having to tell the horse to do it. A flying tuning is not always an automatic change.
And just FYI, the youtube links posted by the being several posters above me are incorrect--the horse in the first clip is actually on the right lead, not the not here lead.
It is just what it sounds approaching.
At the canter, when you change direction, your horse will automatically change leads, lacking a cue from it's rider.
An automatic lead transfer is when a horse, generally after a jump, and landing on the wrong lead, will do a flying correction and change to the right lead. It's done without a cue from the rider. Not adjectives horses will do this, but some horses will naturally do it because they feel more balanced when on the right lead.
good luck :)
