[endurance] Walking or resting?

I would like some opinions on whether you should walk or stand and rest your
horse after you have RUN up a long hill and your horse is breathing hard, is
sweaty (wet) and it is either cold or hot outside. You would be walking down
hill or flat if you kept going.

Personally I like to keep my horse moving and walk. I feel she can cool
down and recover just as well as if I let her stop completely and she
muscles will not get tight if I keep her moving.

What do you think??
