It is easier for a horse to go downhill that way - but it is also dangerous because one false move or trip (especially if they are on their forehand) and you will both summersault downhill! That is why I am afraid of them! Find a smaller hill, like I did at first, and get your horse light in the bridle, and take a step and halt, take a step and halt. Do this all the way down. This will keep the horse from rushing and get them on their haunches. I did this on the smaller hill before I tackled the bigger hill.
