that in the various type of trots the cadance remains the same but the
length of the stride changes.
That's what I thought, too. When I would do an extended trot (in my
former life as a DQ), it felt like the horse was getting lower because he was
pushing off his hindquarters so much. I don't see that in endurance,
possibly because in order to get that you have to have your horse's frame pretty
compressed, which would be detrimental for a horse to negotiate uneven
terrain.
