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.
This bby is loosely based on the common five-lined skink! I was inspired to make a lizard-y trotter because I had a very silly ADHD moment last night where my bf was talking about *ring shopping* and something he said made me knee-jerk reaction say “you’ve heard of Imagine Dragons, now get ready for… real lizards”. Safe to say I ruined the sentimental moment just a bit but I got a small laugh so *shrugs*
My challenge for you to win this trotter is to give me your best opposite statement, just like “Imagine Dragons > real lizards”. Another example of an opposite phrase I’ve come up with is “Outback Steakhouse > in front veg hut”. Just pick a brand, phrase, or word, and replace every word in there with an antonym:) This is meant to be silly and nonsensical so I hope you have fun with it!
