Try these specific steps to correct it directly in the database: http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL#Changing_the_URL_directly_in_the_database
That’s the most detailed method in the above article, and it’s the preferred way to fix the situation.

This worked to return the url to the original value. But the same issue occurred when I went back to actually change it to a new url, so I followed the steps to return to what I originally had entered. Now nothing is working.

I am not moving it yet. I simply need to access the site I am working on. For some reason the same steps I followed earlier to to correct it directly in the database are not working. I am not even able to log in and access the admin functions.
Can you follow through http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL#Changing_the_URL_directly_in_the_database again and confirm that the values are correct and reflect where the WordPress files are currently installed?

I followed the exact steps, returned the url to the original setting, but to no avail. I am not sure where else to check the settings. I am using HostGator, so I have access to various tools. Can I use the file manager to change or look-up what I need?

Both siteurl home values were set at http://leadwithhorses.com/WP
I was missing the /
Stupid mistake, and I swear I tried it both ways. Still, I can get at least access the site now. However, only the home page loads. The other pages still have the error.
Try re-saving your permalink structure at Settings/Permalinks in your admin panel. If WordPress cannot automatically edit the .htaccess file, it will provide manual instructions after saving.

That did the trick!
I am learning. I will eventually get it.
