The Spanish trot is one of the more difficult movements of dressage or high school. The horse raises each foot in turn and extends it forward, holding it out for a perceptible pause before placing it on the ground. The leg is extremely elevated, the horse's body appears to swell in size and sway gently.... 2, record 2, English, - Spanish%20trot

Extended Trot. The horse should cover as much ground as possible while maintaining the cadence. While remaining balanced and on the bit, the horse lengthens the frame and the stride as a result of great impulsion from the hindquarters. In the forward movement of the extension, the movement of the fore and hind legs should be similar (parallel). 3, record 3, English, - extended%20trot
