How do you ride extended trot?

To ride an extended trot, start by ensuring your horse is in a forward, balanced frame. Begin with a regular trot and then apply gentle leg pressure to encourage your horse to lengthen its stride, while maintaining a steady rhythm. Use your seat to support the horse’s movement, keeping your position steady and allowing your hips to move with the horse. Finally, maintain a light contact with the reins to guide the horse without restricting its natural movement.
