efficient gaits question

[Louise bower <horsecrazy@access.mountain.net>]

I'm not sure practicing the gait is the answer.  I have a horse that 
will trot or canter on a training ride around home whenever I ask.  He 
will maintain the canter until I ask for another gait.  But at a ride he 
will drop out of the canter almost right after we start.  I have tried 
many times and the same thing happens.  So I let him trot, I figure he 
knows best what he can do the longest.
