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.

If this trotter could have any animal companion in the world what would it be?

Prompt:

He's not one for nature. Believe him, he's not.

The squirrels and birds, they chirp and skirt—troublesome. Occasionally, he spots a lizard or snake—who wants to be around those sneaky creatures? Bats are like birds and quieter, stranger; rabbits and skunks and ducks and dogs... they're fast but small, and he really hates accidentally tripping over them.

But then... very rarely, he'll see deer. During the spring, riding along forest trails, he'll see does and fawns, and then later, elk—stallion-elk with their majestic antlers. They're strong creatures, secretive creatures, similar creatures.

Similar enough to horses that sometimes, he can understand what they're saying.

What words can't convey, body motions can. The subtle twitch of an ear, the flick of the tail.

And he's noticed that they fight. Usually over the mare-elks during the cooler season, but it impresses him that such quiet creatures still have enough fire in their souls to wage war like that.

If he could keep any creature, it would be a deer. Specifically, one of those strong, secretive, spirited stallion-elks. They... remind him of himself.
