Are there horse breeds besides Icelandics that are gaited but can also trot under saddle?

I know the general rule is that you should not trot a gaited horse under saddle, but I have never been really clear on why. Icelandics are required to show both trot and gait naturally in pasture and under saddle. Does anyone know why they are the exception?

    The five-gaited American Saddlebred has the walk, trot, canter, slow gait, and rack.
