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.

Congrats on your new Trotter!
Wild Dog Overo is an overo type that resembles the African wild Dog!
Frame Overo is dominant to Wild Dog Overo, and so the two cannot be seen expressing on the same horse.
Wild Dog Overo does not touch the face, ears or the spine of the horse, but it does give a both a heavily spotted appearance and a dark grey or dark brown shadow effect to the white marking.
Two Wild Dog Overo can be bred together in Trotters, but do suffer the same consequences of Frame; if WOWO, the outcome is Lethal.
Check the nursery page for more information regarding double overo breedings!
