I want to say, I will try to never slow down my horses walk, especially on
green horses. Developing that nice be ground covering walk can be difficult
in horses that do not have it naturally.  So if she is walking faster than
the other horse, I'd pass and put her out front.  The tailgating issue can
be worked on at the trot, but don't slow that walk down. I found you can
rate the walk later, when the horses have more miles on them, but try to
never discourage a nice fast walk.
