If you are riding a "fast horse trot" it could be a lengthened or an extended trot. That is referring to the actual length of stride a horse is making at that trot. "Collection" is the exact opposite, basically, of a fast trot.
The natural trot for a horse under saddle. It is the normal trot for the horse.
To tell (or ask) your horse to trot is:"Aller au trotter."Translation is: To go into a trot.
A non-gaited horse has 4 basic gaits. The walk, the trot, the canter and the gallop. The gallop is the fastest a horse can go.
A horse's gaits refer to the different ways it moves. From slow to fast: Walk Trot Canter Gallop
Yes they can.
A Piaffe is when the horse is in a highly collected trot on the spot. Likewise, a Passage is when the horse performs this elevated trot while moving forwards.
The answer to this is: the carriage is only as fast as the horse. Walk: Roughly 3-4 MPH. A pleasure show horse can go as slow as 2 mph. Gaited horses-- who do not trot-- can do a 'running walk' as fast as 15 mph. Trot: The trot is roughly 8-10 MPH. Again, a shorter striding horse could trot slower, and a horse with a long stride could move faster. Harness Racing (Trot/Pace): 20-35 MPH Canter/Lope: 10-17 MPH. Gallop - 20-45 MPH NOTE 1: It is generally considered bad form for any horse in harness to canter, lope, or gallop while hitched to a vehicle, as it is dangerous and ill-advised. NOTE 2: Many horse-drawn vehicles are referred to as "carriages" when in fact, they are not. Hearses, wagons, sulkies, carts etc all have different functions and are built to go at different speeds.
Have the horse trot for you!
collected trot
Collected trot.
When you are riding a horse at a trot you can either sit the trot (something that require a lot of practice to be able to do well), or do a rising trot where you post (go up and down in the saddle) in time with the horse's outside leg.
