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.

Barn Name: Bullet
Gender: Stallion
Height: 15.2 hh
Halter Color: Gray
Prompt: He would star in heartland as a kind, loyal, fiercely protective, and misunderstood character.

Bullet used to star in a circus when a child approached him with a spiky whip, whipping him multiple times until out of fear he reared around and chomped on the hand with the whip, trying to protect himself. The circus he was in erupted in chaos. The hired executioner pinned him but he once again, kicked him in the jaw, getting up and running as fast as he could to escape his death-seeled fate, worried for the entirety of his life. He ran and ran and eventually found himself at an abandoned-looking barn. A girl woke up later with Bullet in her room, the door big enough for him and with him resting shakily on the soft brown carpet by the base of her bed. She slowly leaned over her bed with her eyes wide as grapefruit in surprise. Bella got up and walked over to him, holding the shaking stallion's head gently and kindly. They locked gazes and he pressed his head to her chest. From that day on Bullet became her forever horse, a horse she never lost connection with. A best friend.

Halter Color: Turquoise
Prompt: He would star in Cleopatra as her royal highness's faithful steed, because his colorful eyes give him an air of nobility and the color of his coat makes him look as though he is a living statue made from burnished gold. Everyone who saw him would be in awe of his majestic appearance and bearing, which makes him perfectly suitable as the mount or chariot-puller for the most powerful woman in history.

Show Name: Lorna
Barn Name: Where the Songbirds Go
Gender: Mare
Height: 12.0hh
Halter Color: Sage green
Prompt: Lorna would star in a movie as the awkward, bumbling best friend that just can’t catch a break. She’s excitable, loud, and — help her, notoriously clumsy. Of course, she’d be helping the main hero of the movie through and through — a natural supporter, her loyalty is unmatched. However, sometimes this loyalty and blind trustingness can get her into a couple of sticky situations. Overall, Lorna would be the character that the audience would love the most, for her unparalleled wit and bafflingly humorous lack of grace.

Thank you, once I saw how he looked kind of like a statue with that pattern, I knew what my prompt would be right away. He's awesome!
