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: Symphony of the Heart
Barn Name: Sonata
Gender: Female
Height: 14.1 hh
Halter Color: Your choice since I'm in a toss up between the color of the drizzle and the eyes..
Name Explanation (Optional): The drizzle flows like a sonata playing in my head, but the tobiano cold foam brings more energy in and makes it feel like a symphony.

Literally, those were the first words to pop in my head when I saw this Trotter.
(Keeping in mind I'm not much of a musician and had to google the difference between the two. I liked what one answer said was 'A symphony is merely a sonata for orchestra.')

Show Name: Love to Love to Love to Love You
Barn Name: Lys
Gender: Mare
Height: 13.1hh
Halter Color: inspired by the colour palette of the cover of Lana Del Rey's 'Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Boulevard?' album cover
Name Explanation (Optional): The swirly sort of mark looks like it says "2 L 2" to me, the L being a capital cursive L. It immediately made me think of the lyrics from the song Let the Light In that go "'Cause I love, to love, to love, to love you", so I made most of that line into the show name. The barn name is Norwegian for 'light', as a reference to the song's title.
