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.
#600 is finally here! Sorry for the delay I hope you guys like this cutie ♥
This trotter has a new marking called Marbled Splash (Mspl) [x] based after marble foxes. This gene will produce moderate to high white splashes. Color will always be present on the withers and spine with have a crown to mask like face marking. Tails are will always be two toned: coat color to white. The heterozygous expression (Msplmspl) can show the most base coat color as it can reach down to the shoulders while the homozygous expression (MsplMspl) will be nearly all white with color mainly seen along the dorsal. For both expressions the face is nearly all white except for a mask/crown like marking by or above the eyes & the ears.
For this competition design them a halter! You may draw, describe or use pictures (with credit). Also tell me a quote that shows their personality.
