Jody,
Thanks so much for asking.  I am in a constant argument with an 'old 
timer' who believes all twh are racking horses and all have a rack.  I 
try to explain no that is a gaited walk but they seem to think if a 
horse is 'gaiting' a horse is 'racking'  I'm pretty confused myself but 
when you go to racking shows the higher a horse lifts his front legs the 
better the 'rack' versus a pleasure gait which is just Cadillac style 
smooth.
