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.

To win this trotter, please tell me whether you'd like to see more new markings/dilutes, or something interactive that's easy to manage?
(Not both please!)
Is there a specific type of marking or dilute (such as fish related, or reptile, water mammal?) or give an idea or two for a very simple interactive thread that can be added. c:

Show Name: Reclaimed Treasure
Barn Name: Kitsugi
Gender: Mare
Halter: black and yellow striped
Prompt: maybe points similar to a dog's that could be called Hound's Hoof, with an extension gene that would add masking/extended masking to it? It would condense the colors to the points and the rest of the body black and not show up on red bases unless diluted !

Show Name: BRS Puzzle Piece
Barn Name: Reese
Gender: Mare
Halter: White
Prompt: I would like to see a merle look. Sort of like this. But with any color it could be with a palomino. If it was with a let's say palomino it would be roaned out but have patches that didn't have roan. It would be called Merle or Merle Roan

Barn Name: taikuri
Gender: mare
Halter: your choice!
Prompt: i feel like we've had a lot of new markings recently that we still need to catch up with and get a hang of and i always love interactive aspects of a species, so i'd love something like that! maybe some kind of weekly(?) token collecting that you can trade in for items instead of/in addition to hms and/or lets you find import tickets. even just adding ribbons to the competition shows we already have would be a nice addition for those who love visuals. (:

[b]Barn Name: Koi
[b]Gender:Male
[b]Halter: Blue
[b]Prompt: maybe a coloring similar to an orca/killer whale ? i think that'd be cool or maybe a brindle, like the dog coloring (and horse, though it's rare)

Show Name: What Good Is It
Barn Name: James
Gender: Stallion
Halter: shaded eye colour
Prompt: Maybe something like an explore feature? Like some sort of trial / adventure ride where we can find "lost" trotters that are in need of a home and/or some items, with the rarer items being harder to find and ofcourse just a small chance to find a Trotter.
To manage this there would be ofcourse a cooldown on it. Say once every week or every two weeks? Or maybe even on a specific day/days? To keep it fair and maintenable for staff to manage.

Show Name: Polar North's Meteor Crash
Barn Name: Astraea
Gender: Female
Halter: Eye Color
Prompt: I'd love to see some new markings! Maybe something kind of like birdcatcher spots but it forms a little constellation on the horse, but i'm okay with anything, really! Some new colors or dilutes would also be really interesting.

Show Name: DSRT Leaking From the Sun
Barn Name: Goldrush
Gender: Stallion
Halter: Silver
Prompt: An interactive thread would be nice! We have many new genes and we don't have that many horses with the newer ones. Which is a shame! An interactive thread would allow something new for the people who want it while allowing the gene ratios to even out! Then more genes could be added.

I think an explore feature would be nice! We could find some token or coins of some kind to be able to trade in for items or customs later! There could be a chance to find items or trotters! Maybe limit users to posting 1 time every week or two to keep it more manageable for the staff? Your token or coin gain could increase based on increase based on how much you write and how difficult what you drew was. It could even up your chances a little of finding trotters and items! IDK, I just think an explore feature would be cool! XD

Show Name: BV's Are You Sorry Yet?
Barn Name: Halley or "Hal"
Gender: Mare
Halter: redish brown <3
Prompt: 1. I think dhole markings are basic but would look quite interesting on trotters the way the underbelly is lighter/white and the pelt on the top is a reddish brown color.

2. But! I also think a more gentle or discrete version of the clownfish's three stripes would also look stunning on the trotters.

Show Name: Beyond The Archipelago
Barn Name: Arch
Gender: Stallion
Halter: White
Prompt: I'd love something interactive! I think an explore or a similar feature would be great for trotters that don't have manes/tails that fit for competitions. It could maybe be like a scavenger hunt too? Maybe if you found all of certain items you could get an extra slot for your totters like in comps. Various shop items could probably be found too, and maybe slots from trotters with new/rare genes like in the safari event because that was awesome. =D
