No way a horse trots at 20 mph
Travellers who road race base a good horse on if it can do 30mph in trot. They sold me a trotter in terrible condition because they thought he wouldn't reach the 30mph speed. Now he has matured and is in good condition I can tell you he certainly could! (Not that I would ever road race or even race on grass!) Even my cob can trot as fast as another of mine in a reasonable mid speed canter which is over 20mph. He powers along and inserts an additional flick which is hard to describe. You can't rise to it though and are thrown around all over the place!!!
