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.
Today, I'm trying out something new: the Semi-Build a Trotter! Here's the deal: you get to answer some cryptic questions, all of them are directly related to what they add to the Trotter. I'm super excited to see how this turns out, and I might use this template again down the line. What's cool is there's a random twist to it, so even if the questions would be answered the same, each Trotter that pops out will be totally unique! ^^
And please drop a fun fact or share a cool image (with credits) along with your number. The fact or image I like the most wins! (Feel free to edit your post after dropping your response so there is no double claiming of numbers)
