No, it's [rein-wise] the space between medium trot and collected trot
To tell (or ask) your horse to trot is:"Aller au trotter."Translation is: To go into a trot.
The pleasure trot is a medium working trot. The horse should be accepting of the bit with a good head-set, a free swinging shoulder and engaged hocks. Most of all, it should have a pleasing, ground-covering cadence.
In the dressage in "Horsez", you click the blue and yellow dots that randomly appear on the screen. When you get close to a green bouncing square, just go through it. The green bouncing square will say something, it will say: Medium walk, free walk, collected walk, medium trot, free trot, collected trot, medium gallop, free gallop, collected gallop, piaffe, pirouette or flying change. These are all called gaits. When you come up to a pink and white floating circle, it will have a question mark on it. As you go through it, you will have to draw a shape, according to what gait you are riding at. There is no warning or lesson on what you have to draw, so this is just a little cheat sheet. :) These are the shapes/symbols you have to draw on the screen: Medium trot: V Free trot: V Collected trot: V Medium walk: S Free walk: S Collected walk: S Medium gallop: G Free gallop: G Collected gallop: G Medium canter: Z or C Free canter: Z or C Collected canter: Z or C Piaffe: C Pirouette: Draw a backwards 'c'... like this, ) Flying change: V Have fun! :)
No, posting or rising trot is a way to ride the trot and you can post any type of trot. Extended trot is where the horse lengthens it's trot stride to cover more ground. Typically this causes the trot to smooth out a bit making it easier to sit the trot.
The natural trot for a horse under saddle. It is the normal trot for the horse.

The difference between thw western trot and the English trot is simple. The western trot is called a jog, which is much slower than the English trot. The English trot is called a trot, which is much quicker than western jog. Also you are not suppose to post in a western saddle you only do that in an English.
Standardbreds are usually bred to be either Trotters or Pacers, but can occasionally make good saddle seat horses as they can occasionally be found to rack due to their diverse breeding background.
