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: Clue
Gender: Mare
Halter Color: Questionable Grey
Hiding Place: Clue is not very good at hiding. At all. Her thought is the “if I can’t see you, you can’t see me” train, and so she usually hides similar to this. She prefers trees, but large water tubs, fence posts, buildings or even her pasture pals are fair game to hide behind.

Barn Name: Alev
Gender: Stallion
Halter Color: matching his eyes
Hiding Place: He loves to lay near the small beach near his old home. He lives quite far away from it now, after having been abandoned by his former owners in that old, run down stable. But from time to time, when he's not competing or training, they'll take a trip out there and let him run the shore. He loves it's small, secluded shoreline, the sand against his legs and side as he rolls while the tide comes up and kisses him with it's cold waters.
It took his old neighbors such a long time to find him, because he would often spend his days down by this beach, especially after all the other horses on that old ranch had gotten picked up by animal control. He was still out there, shaded by the trees as the water gently touched his legs.

Barn Name: Liraz
Gender: Mare
Halter Color: Teal
Hiding Place: Her favorite hiding place is well hidden in the mountainside. It is a bit of a hike to get there but Liraz never minds it since its the only place she can go to relax. It's a small waterfall that pours into a shallow pond. It's enough for her to lay down in and relax in the water on a hot summer day and not have to stand the whole time. The sound of the waterfall also helps her to relax and just melt her stress away. Credit
