Not always true.  Have had many 14-2 horses trot stride for stride with many
15-2+ horses, and have in many cases have had them take longer and fewer
strides over the same distance.  Have joked about these being 14-2 when you
get on, but 16 hh when you ride them.  I am not talking about parky action
here, either, but rather the long, low, easy, efficient daisy-cutter sort of
stride that really eats up the miles.
