The extended trot is when the horse covers as much ground as possible, lengthening his stride to its fullest extent.

When your horse extends, his front and back legs should lengthen equally.

Before You Even Try the Extended Trot
First you need to understand that you cannot take a horse that has been sitting in the pasture for 6 months and suddenly create an extended trot. This article is for horses that have a developed trot lengthening already in place.
The Progression of the Extended Trot
After you have a good trot lengthening, the next goal is to get a good medium trot, which we will go over next. And from there, the full extended trot will develop. This will all take time and patience. And all of this may happen over the course of one to several years.
The Key to the Extended Trot
As stated above, it’s all about the preparation you do before you do the movement. An extended trot does not develop from the movement itself per se, it develops from the proper execution of the 10-20 strides before the extension.

How does this slow down the trot and speed up the walk?
As your horse learns the drill, he will begin to anticipate the transitions. This drill actually takes advantage of that anticipation. Every time he goes up into a trot, he will immediately prepare to transition back down to a walk and as soon as he enters the walk he will know he only has a stride or two until he needs to trot again.
Troubleshooting
This is a really good drill for continuing to build topline. The horse should already have enough topline built that he shouldn’t be dropping his back too much through the transitions. If he starts getting sloppy enough that he’s dropping his back, you’ve pushed too far and need to slow down.
