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: Sovaga
Gender: mare
Height: 15hh
Halter: eye color
Prompt: Sovaga honestly does not mind other animals, seemingly she enjoys company. Whether horse, small rodent, dog, etc. She is quite laid back and easy-going, and gets along with almost everyone, that is, unless they provoke her. In general though, being as relaxed as she is, Sovaga is the go-to mare when a new trotter arrives at the barn.

Barn Name: Magnolia
Gender: Mare
Height: 12.3hh
Halter: same as eyes <3
Prompt: Magnolia has a certain respect for all things living. She takes what she needs but is mindful to leave things for others. For example, when caretakers and her riders try and offer her carrots she'll eat as much as she wants until she becomes bored of it and gives the carrots to the wild pasture rabbits that she sometimes finds herself grazing with. In return, every animal in the neighboring forests leaves her be, sometimes even sharing their things with her. All in all, she's pretty relaxed and open-minded with other thriving and living creatures.

Barn Name: Bambi
Gender: stallion
Height: 12.1hh
Halter: Amber with white spots
Prompt:

Bambi is rather skittish and while he has a genuine curiosity for the various animals in the barn, whether they were put there or wandered in for sanctuary, he is too scared to approach them. To clarify, he isn't scared of them, he is scared of himself, as he is a rather large animal and they all look to be small and fragile creatures. He chooses to admire them from afar and will even step softly and carefully with his eyes on each step he makes to avoid spooking or trodding on each of his dear friends. Maybe one day he will have the confidence to finally say hello!

Barn Name: Verse
Gender: stallion
Height: 13.1 hh
Halter: eye color
Prompt: Verse sadly has a bit of a ego, due to his unusual coat combination he was made much of at his original barn. So now he see's most animals as there to help appreciate and amuse him. If he notices them at all, there are a few expectations to this but it takes a lot to impress this his royal highness.

Barn Name: Orin
Gender: Stallion
Height: 14.2hh
Halter: Eye Color w/White Stripes
Prompt: Orin has different feelings about other animals depending on their species. The barn dogs are his favorite companions since they're usually very enthusiastic about running and playing with him. The cats are a close second. Their purrs are comforting when he's ready to settle down, and sometimes they knead his back. Smaller animals, like squirrels and chipmunks, make him uncomfortable. He's so much bigger than they are, and he worries he'll hurt them accidentally. Orin is envious of the birds, both for their ability to fly and sing beautiful songs. He often dreams about being a bird himself.

Barn Name: Viatra
Gender: Mare
Height: 15hh
Halter: A muted navy blue
Prompt: When it comes to the living things around her, Viatra tends to be either entirely at peace or in a constant state of terror. Larger animals, from a working dog to another horse, appease her and around them she is typically well behaved and would hardly ever lash out. However, it is small or unusually quick animals that catches her attention, causing her enough panic that she could accidentally injure it or herself in the process of trying to escape them. With the bigger animals she can quite clearly see them and its easier for her to study their movements, but with the smaller critters she can hardly see them weaving around her hooves, causing the uncertainty which upsets the mare.
