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.

Height: 15.2hh
Halter Color: Pale lilac
Prompt: Zoey loves the rain, especially during the night. The heavier, the better! She really enjoys water activities and it's almost impossible to get her out of the rain once it's started; we often have to put her in her stall early when we know it's going to rain so that we aren't chasing her around the paddock during a heavy downpour. She finds the sound of the rain bouncing off of her stable roof very calming so once she's in there she's still content.

Prompt: Torrent loves snow, and not just a light dusting but a full snowstorm. When he's turned out in the pasture he goes wild, leaping and bucking in the snowflakes and trying to incite his friends to chase him. Best of all, he loves to roll in the biggest piles of snow and mud and completely ruin his blanket!

Prompt: Winston thinks waking up to a foggy morning is the best way to start his day. Everything is quiet except for the occasional bird song or snort from another horse, and the air looks soft and comforting. Its especially pretty whenever the sky is clear enough to have a nice warm sunrise come and evaporate all the fog when the ranch hands come out to feed.
