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 :)
There 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.
it 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
The 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.
Horses 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.
It comes naturally. its kind of like jogging for humans. trotting is the second slowest gait. The two diaganol legs both go forward at the same time.

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.
