Correct me if I am wrong but a true extended trot is with the horse on the
bit, nose slightly above the perpendicular, and back rounded. More is also
required but then again that is dressage. Dusty was pretty well into the
frame. If Gayle had pushed him up she would have been flying. altho when
Dusty does his trot I am sure she feels she is flying already. Love that
boy. Jean

Our old
mare, Line, does it when she is fired up and being silly - you know
the routine, tail up, head up, nostrils flared, feet floating over the
ground. Her reach is still pretty good even at 28 with arthritis. Now
that she is getting on in years she rarely ever gallops,
Mary,
When I first got Stella (Line's Daughter) she never ever cantered in the
pasture, but had that huge, fast extended trot: Heck, she didn't NEED to
canter. She would race around with that huge floating trot. head in the
air, tail, up, etc...I Just loved watching it!
