It took me a minute to figure out what you meant. My version is "'splain pleez". ;o)
I guess I used "pull" in 2 different contexts, sorry 'bout that.
When I said "Pull them at a walk", I just meant to make him walk them instead of rushing up. They always feel like they're pulling something when they do that, and I guess they are, gravity.
By "Pull him down", I meant that make him "downshift" from a canter to a walk.
A "Rack" is a gait a Racking Horse does, similar to a Running Walk that a TWH does.
A "Dawg Walk" is that draggy, slow, "dead lice falling off of him" walk that's just one notch above a dead stop.
It all sounds kinda redundant now that I read it. I should think more before I type. :o)
Just now eating. Been busy. Thanks. We only have a few man made hills around here. We use them just to teach the horses how to go up and down. My she horse goes up just fine but needs to be encouraged to go down and if I don't watch her she will veer to flat and we have to circle back.
