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.



We've got new grey types! >:D
This one is based off the Eurasian Lynx! ©

Called Lynx Grey, this type shows larger spotting on everything but the undersides and inner legs of the horse.
The spotting gets smaller the lower down the legs they go, and the face often has typical feline striping seen in tabby cat types.
The bridge of the nose, muzzle and ears/ear tips have a faded greying coloration showing the base beneath.
The end of the tail always shows the color corresponding to the base coat. (Silver/Flaxen/Black etc.)
They grey itself is not dappled, but a solid near white/white base, similar to fleabitten greys.
