if a horse has long legs it will have large strides which means it will have a fast trot but it could be lazy and go slow now a little horse could have fast trot too because it will have small strides so they would lots of little strides really quickly but then again it could just be lazy i hope ive answered your question , beautifulbeauforever :)

∙ 12y agoThere is no particular speed for the trot. All horses move at their own pace. However, the trot is a fast walk and also the horse lifts its legs up higher. The walk is like a bump de bump de bump but the trot is like a bump da de bump da de bump da de. Sorry that "bump" stuff is weird but that's the only way I really knew how to explain it.

∙ 12y agoit depends on the size of the horses legs , a horse with long legs generaly doesn't have a fast trot but a horse with shorter legs will be faster because if the horse with long legs is trotting it's legs will bring them farther because of their length but a horse with short legs will not go as far at the same speed. but sometimes a horse goes slow because they are just lazy. i hope this answers the question the way you wanted it to :) grace

∙ 14y agoThe trot is a two time pace in which the horse moves on alternate diagonals, left hind and right fore together, followed by a moment of suspension before the right hind and left hind fore make ground contact. The trot is hardest for a rider to learn because the horse bounces from one diagonal to the other, but it is the most used pace, since the horse trots over long distances. The rider should change from one diagonal to the other at regular intervals to put equal weight on both pairs of legs.

∙ 13y agoHorses can travel upwards of thirty (and some, even forty) miles per hour. They cannot sustain this pace for long, though. A horse can gallop a couple of miles at full steam, but the same horse can canter (or lope) much farther. Trotting (either a fast trot or a jog trot) isn't a bad way to travel, but you don't get very far very fast. Faster trotting is tiring to the rider as well because you are posting (rising up and down out of the saddle on alternate beats).
It all really depends on the breed, fitness and stride length of the horse.

How do you build muscle in a horse's leg?
You build muscle up on a show jumping on by doing light runs, and gradually getting quicker, so the change in muscle mass is not to dramatic. Feed them plenty of vegetables. They also need to be jumped often so that their muscles are used to the way they jump!

What does a walking trail horse mean?
A walking trail horse is simply a horse that you can take on trails at a walking speed. That's the literal meaning of the question; but as a trail rider and author of Basic Training for a Safe Trail Horse I would say that "walking trail horse" refers to a gaited breed of trail horse like the Tennessee Walker. TW's are the most common of walking horses, but there are many other gaited breeds that perform comfortable gaits that can be described as a "walking" gait. Many of these gaits are performed at speeds comparable to the gaits of trotting or cantering in non-gaited breeds.
What does gait means?
it is trotting,cantering,galloping,and running even walking is a gait because the horse steps 4 beats. There are four gaits referred to in horsemanship...the walk, trot, canter and gallop. These are determined not only by speed, but how the horse places its hooves down during the gait (3 beats or 4). When you hear someone refer to a horse as "gaited", it means the horse does not trot. This typically refers to "smoother" horses such as the Tennessee Walker, but is not limited to breeds like this.
Do horseshoes affect the horse's speed?

How fast can a tobiano paint horse run?
Tobiano, being a color pattern, matters not on the speed of a horse. A Paint is derived from the Quarter Horse. At best, the fastest run given by a Quarter Horse at a quarter mile race was 55 mph. Although, this is the clocked speed from a race horse with impeccable conformation and breeding for speed. But an average horse at a full gallop typically has a speed of 35 mph.
A horse is moving a constant speed of 8ms is the horse accelerating?
A constant speed means that the horse is neither accelerating nor decelearating Speed is a scalar which means it has a magnitude but no direction, while acceleration is a vector so it has both a magnitude and a direction. As the magnitude of the speed remains constant, the speed is constant but since the direction the horse travels in changes that horse is in fact accelerating.
