This is pretty much an old wive's tale.  Letting a gaited horse trot
will not cause it to lose the gait, but will let it perfect another gait
- one that is probably better fit for the sport.  And that amble is an
absolutely wonder gait to have on the down hills.  It is fast and easy
on the legs and you can really make some time on the downhill.
