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 horse is sporting one of our new markings:
The Ghost: TgTg/Tgtg
Common
Opposite effect of The Devil’s Eyes, turns face black, mane and tail and eyes stark white
If The Devil’s Eyes appears on a Trotter alongside The Ghost either by breeding or in adopts and both markings are shown, it will produce a special effect. The mane and tail will be white and black or vice versa with stripes running through the mane and tail. There can be variation of eye colors, either being white with a black pupil or black iris with a white pupil. The markings also appear on the face as a blend of the markings, giving a white or black mask with white or black markings, with a lot of variation seen between how the markings appear
