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: Azura
Gender: Female
Height: 13.2hh
Halter Color: Eye Color
Prompt: Azura is a wild and temperamental mare, having been handed over to Jack for proper training and handling, she has the tendency to bite or nip other horses for simply being in her area and she's known to have mood swings very quickly, she is one of the only horses that actually gets along with his main horse, Crimson, and is the only one allowed to have a stall near hers. Other than the only exception to her aggression, Azula is intolerant of most other creatures and only barely tolerates Jack. She has needed extensive care from the on-site veterinarians as well as she has been trying to ram down parts of the fencing in an effort to escape, the ranch handlers and HQ Management hope that Azula will adjust soon and be able to live her life at Polar North Ranch safely and healthily.

Barn Name: Mahina
Gender: Mare
Height: 14hh
Halter Color: artist choice
Prompt: Mahina is a strong and determined little mare. She's completely different that the other mares on the ranch in that she's not a big pain in the rear and she actually has drive. I've never seen a mare with such an appetite to learn. She takes to training very quickly and once she's figured out what you're asking of her she's already levels ahead. Give her a job and she's ready to go!

Edit for barn name change

Barn Name: Brooke
Gender: Mare
Height: 16 hh
Halter Color: surprise
Prompt: Go. GO GO GO GO- This high energy, eager to work mare loves her job, and never slows down because of it. She loves to be out doing search and rescue, exploring the woods, tackling the wilderness. She shows no fear, even during dark nights, and always displays full trust in her rider and her willingness to do whatever is asked of her. She's very loving and friendly, but does require a lot of exercise, or else she easily falls to vices such as cribbing and pacing.

Barn Name: Borealis or "Bori"
Gender: Stallion
Height: 14.2hh
Halter Color: Same as eyes with darker flecks <3
Prompt: Bori beats the stereotypes for stallions. He's sweet, very calm, well-trained, and great for riding. Although, he is definitely mostly ridden for rope bending, training kids, therapy, and show jumping he is quite the kind boy and always knows exactly how to cheer up a sad human.

Show Name: Running From the Hounds
Barn Name: Fenrir
Gender: Mare
Height: 15hh
Halter Color: Storm gray
Prompt:

Fenrir is freedom itself. She is always restless and never wants to be held down for too long, always wanting to feel the wind in her mane and her spirit is unmatched. She has channeled some of this wild energy into a competitive nature but always at the cost of more pasture time with each win. While Fenrir is a passionate horse that loves to run, run like hounds are nipping at her heels, like each step could be her last, she also knows that she is loved where she is and her true freedom is with her herd in the barn. Her freedom is being unwholly herself with her head held high.
