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: Whiskey
Gender: Stallion
Height: 15.2hh
Halter: same as eyes w/ lighter stripes <3
Prompt: Whiskey is an old man who doesn't really have crushes. 'Back in my day..." Is usually his favorite way to start a conversation with a beautiful mare. He's usually very respectful and calm which usually catches the mares by surprise and wins them over fairly easily but he never really has thought about a crush but has about a happily ever after riding towards the sunset with that special someone he hopes he'll find one day.

Prompt:

Romeo becomes quite a showboat when he develops a crush, doing his best to show the other horse, regardless of gender, his finest and flashiest moves. However, this can backfire rather badly and more times than not he ends up messing up and making an utter fool out of himself! He doesn't let his embarrassment phase him even if he feels hot in the face, just glad that he managed to make the other laugh at the cost of his pride. He loves loyally and tries to court his crush in strikes of three, with a failed third attempt meaning he trots back to the stable and nurses his hurting heart until he feels well enough to let it flutter off towards another horse on another day.

Barn Name: Viccarious
Gender: Stallion
Height: 13hh
Halter: a creamy, off-white color
Prompt: Viccarious attempts to be quite the romantic, following the cues of the other wildlife as he attempts to impress a mare. Rather than performing his show tricks, he will scour the pastures for brightly colored flowers or otherwise shiny objects that had fallen or blown onto the ground to try and flatter her. Being quite persistant, he will follow the said mare in an aloof nature for several days, until the trotter in question grows tired of his presence and shoos him off. Being quite young and energetic, he just can't seem to understand yet that what he believes is a sweet guesture can be overbearing and perhaps a bit silly. However, still being the prime stallion he is, Vic will eventually accept rejection and move on without ever looking back, to pester the next lovely mare to catch his eye.

Romeo has had a bit of a makeover!
His mane and tail have been braided, so he may now enter Dressage competitions.
