This may seem like a simple problem but its something ive always had trouble with. It seems like with most of my horses they will ride just fine they are in a hurry to go home. I know that this is something that horses will always want to do but I just want to get them to walk quietly home. When I was younger everone told me not to run horses back to the barn becuse it would become a habit and I dont but there has to be something more I can do. Ive thought that maybe they need to be loped around more to learn the value of resting. The other thing I thought of was to give the horses a good workout after I get home. any ideas would be helpful.

Make your outings enjoyable, stop and rest away from home..lt him/her enjoy him/herself and rest AWAY from home. Make it the preferred place to be. Make going home work, and work his butt when you are back home. Make the right choice easy and the wrong choice hard or less desirable.
Never go home and just unsaddle and brush/put him away right away..or feed right after an outting ...that is only rewarding him for going home. Reward him away from home. Or after, say an hour of work once you are back home.
Good luck.

I was riding a friends' paint once who would hurry home. We have a road by our house that goes into a steep 1/3 mile hill. Every time we came down that hill, he knew at the bottom of that hill we would turn into that driveway. So, when I got to the driveway, I turned him around and ran him right back up the hill. Did it 5 times and by the 6th he walked calmly down the hill and past the drive way. You've gotta break the routine. If you always come home the same way, take a diffrent way. If you can't, then when you get to your house/barn/feild, instead of turning in, pass it right up and keep going. I was told too, not to run my horse in the direction of home but to this day I'm able to ignore the advice because my horses don't care if we're headed home because they know there's a good possibility that we'll just ride past. Plus, some of the best places to run are on the way back because their up hill.

bayappaloosa has the right idea. Using Clinton A's method of "make the wrong thing hard and the right thing easy" works.
When my QH is in a hurry to get back to the barn I will make him walk in tight circles until he figures out it is much easier to walk slow.

Thanks I had thought of some of that but I never really know if my ideas are good ones so I tend not to stick with them.

Seems like all the responders are on the right track. I take them and let them trot home eagerly but then when we get home I work them on some figure eights or some other pattern work. I then take them back up the road and then let them rest. I then take them back home and work more patterns and then take them up the road and rest them. I doesn't take them very long to realize that home means work and up the road is a better place to be. I also never unsaddle and turn them out as soon as we get back. Many times they will get left saddled and tied up for a couple of hours or hobbled and left stood for a few hours. Just because we are in the yard doesn't mean we are done working.
