racking

Will someone PLEASE tell me in detail what racking is?

Sure!
Racking is: The most awesome gait in the world when done right. Basically a rack is a four beat gait. The horse moves its feet laterally, just like in walk, but it puts each foot down seperately. That's what makes the gait so smooth. Near hind, near fore, off hind, off fore. Thats the pattern. Hope that helps.
