Range Trotters are the result of crossbreeding Orlov Trotters, Finnhorses, Welsh Cobs (section C & D) and Hanoverians. Later crosses of Quarter Horses, Paint and Appaloosas to gain color and to give a boost to their hardiness.With a height average of 13-15 hands, they're a hardy breed with characteristics for various disciplines.

Created for use as work, carriage and leisure riding horses originally, they now serve as long-distance range horses, such as work with Park Rangers and mounted officers.

Willing and eager personalities, most are quickly trained to be bombproof and therefore trusted mounts in all lines of work; some are being seen in local show jumping competitions, others are notably used in therapeutic sessions for their calm temperaments. Harness races and endurance trials are common for the breed, as they are able to sustain an extended trot without tire. Cross-Country competitions see some of the taller Trotters, but due to their cob lineage this is still uncommon.

Despite the variety of competitions and work these horses are being seen in, they are still famously skilled as endurance racers. Many competitors have chosen Range Trotters due to their tireless work ethic, as well as the ease in which they can be trained. Many have become champions in endurance trials, and they have quickly become a sought after breed for their natural ability.

Show Name: TT Give 'Em The Slip
Barn Name: Slip
Gender: Stallion
Height: 14.2hh
Halter Color: Eye/fin color
Prompt: Slip thought it was laughable that the pirates even thought they could contain him in the first place. Mostly because, as far as Slip is concerned, he joined them willingly. Sure, the pirates thought they were being sneaky and capturing him, but Slip saw what they were doing and decided it might be fun to become a pirate for a bit, so he let himself be "caught". The pirates kept him locked in the belly of the ship for barely a day before Slip had them convinced that he would be more help on deck. And he definitely pulled his weight for a few days. But, eventually, Slip got tired of the pirate life, and the next time a strip of land came into view, he quietly jumped overboard and swam away.

Y'know the song 'I Know A Song That Gets On Everybody's Nerves'? Turns out there's a trotter equivalent. Jane 'sang' it at the top of her lungs.

Jane can't carry a tune in a bucket.

By the end of the third day the pirates were begging someone- anyone!- to take this nightmare of a trotter off their hands.

She stopped singing the moment she was free, and has never felt the need to sing again.

Barn Name: rose
Gender: mare, she/her
Height: 14.9hh
Halter Color: a very pastel orange
Prompt: with a flaming temper, all rose really had to do was exist. she nitpicked every little thing that the pirates did, which drove them up the WALL. one almost jumped overboard because his feelings were so hurt by the sassy little mare. she's such a rude little thing that she started a conspiracy against the captain and managed to rally the whole crew against him. rose didn't even care to escape, but the protest ended in such a mess that the ship was sunk and she was pretty much forced to swim for her life. chaos follows the redhead everyone she goes and she's not afraid to tell you how she feels, that's for sure.

Barn Name: Tefnut
Gender: mare
Height: 13.3 hh
Halter Color: pink and orange
Prompt:
Tefnut, named for the goddess of moisture in Egyptian mythology, learned of the origins of her name one evening as the other pirates sat around swapping stories one evening. Tefnut the goddess appeared with a lion head, and she decided to take that as some inspiration. As the pirates were checking on their prisoners one evening, she decided to “roar” into a pot that reverberated across the ship. The pirates were so spooked they ran and hid without locking the doors back, so Tefnut trotted off the ship a free horse!
