I have ridden from the age of 3 competitively and NEVER had this problem.
My horse will not TROT over trot poles, he’ll walk them under saddle, walk trot & canter them on the lunge, walk trot and canter a single pole under saddle but any more then 3 poles he goes back down to a walk to finish...
When I first started of riding I would raise my heel so I can nudge her with my heel to get her going... as I realised what I was doing I would try to maintain a long leg and just do a nudge using the inside of my boots which would work on her as she's a forward going mare who loves to please...
