Controlling speed

Saw Wendy's post about her horse wanting to keep up with
the others....and I wonder if ANYONE has been successful
at having their horse walk when others trot, trot when
others canter etc . At the start of rides I usually stay
in camp for an extra 5 minutes to avoid the bedlam.

Even on training rides, I'd like to have more control
of Paco's speed, and quite frankly this has kept me
from riding with many of my friends this summer.

I'm intereted in keeping his attention on my request
for speed, not on his desire to keep up with a buddy.

Is the real answer to find a partner that goes the speed
you want and then just let those horses hang out together ?
