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.

Halter Color: light blue
Prompt: Tola's special moment that she remembers was being rescued. Most of Tola's life she spent inside a barn so when she was rescued and put inside lush green paddock she was ecstatic with the feeling of something so soft under her hooves instead of the hard concrete. Tola didnt know what to do first as she had so much freedom to run around and be free. She decided to lay down and soak in the new found warmth from the sun.

Oskar's life took a serious turn when he developed an early stage of arthritis. But let's backtrack- Oskar was born in Germany as a high-value racehorse, beginning to compete at the ripe age of three. Oskar was a fast learner and knew what to do when he had made a mistake his jockey wasn't a fan of, keeping it in his mind and never doing it again. Unfortunately, as the years swept by his hooves sneakily, he developed arthritis from the intense races and large amounts of stress. Don't get Oskar wrong, he absolutely loved racing and running oh so fast. The stressful part about his career is that he had to do so much traveling.

Now Oskar began having serious arthritis at the young age of twelve. It became so bad a year later, his worth in dollars dropped from 90K to 5K, almost a tenth of what it had been. Oskar was sold to a barn known as ➳ Broken Valley ➳. They managed to treat the worst of his arthritis but although he was now comfortably kept all in one place, being turned out with other horses every day... he still lost a part of him that adored his career but he knew he had to face it.

Racing, for him, was over.
