Yes to every one of Judy's points. Assuming tolt and rack are the same gait, then this is how my TWH, a racking horse, travels. He can trot, but even in the pasture or in the round pen with nothing attached to him anywhere and flat shod, he racks in a ventroflexed position. Compared to trotting horses I used to ride, he is not collected and I do not attempt to get his head in a "frame". It would be weird and totally artificial for a horse whose job is covering ground efficiently and safely.
