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.

Ribcage
RbcRbc / Rbcrbc
Thin or thick, curving lines that follow the natual ribcage of the horse. Ribcage markings can have gaps, but is uncommon. On Trotters whose coats are very light, these markings can appear a shade or two darker. No more than 18 ribs total!

Barn Name: Priscilla
Gender: Mare
Height: 13.2hh
Halter Color: artist's choice
Prompt: Priscilla is very sentimental and loves to collect mourning jewelry. Mourning jewelry dates back to the 1600s, but rose in popularity in the 1800s when Queen Victoria was mourning the death of King Albert. The earlier Georgian mourning jewelry was known for its very macabre motifs of skeletons, gravediggers and coffins. Jewelry of this time served as a subtle reminder about the inevitability of death. Later Victorian era mourning jewelry features softer themes of willows, clouds, and angels. Black and white enamel, and pearls were popular materials to use. Often hair from the deceased was Incorporated into rings, pendants, or even elaborate art pieces. Priscilla will often find these pieces in dusty thrift stores or estate sales. She loves to take them home and try to restore them to their former beauty. If there's any information on the piece she'll spend hours online or in the library trying to find out about who the jewelry pieces might have been made for. x

Height: 15 hh
Halter Color: Dark crimson red
Prompt: Ever since he was young, Ray has been obsessed with true crime stories and as he has grown, he developedpassion for collecting items connected to real life crimes. He has paintings and sketches done by famous serial killers, a long scrap of crime scene tape he snatched when a local restaurant was closed down after a shooting, and even the rusty padlock cut from a shed where people had been kept in cages - awaiting a gruesome fate until they were fortunate enough to be rescued by a fire inspector during a routine check of the property. In the beginning he was content to purchase the items online or receive them as gifts but as time has gone on, he prefers to obtain them himself - even though that means visiting horrible places and talking to some truly unsavory individuals.
