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: Torres
Gender: Stallion
Height: 14.3 hh
Halter Color: Eye color!
Prompt: Torres isn't necessarily the best when it comes to something that is, say, desired by his riders, but man this horse can buck! Whether his cinch is too tight, there's a fly that just won't leave him be, or you don't give him his after-grooming treat, this guy goes absolutely nut with the bucking and throwing a fit. It's funny when he's out in the round pen, because he even sometimes does it for the attention, but in his stall? While tacked up and waiting to compete? During a training session? He's more than a little hot-headed, and though after a lot of ground work it's a known fact he doesn't try to hurt anyone and he has never actually started bucking when his rider is mounted up, the habit makes the trainers at Adelaron both roll their eyes and shake their heads at his antics. Luckily he's a great barrel racer, both for beginners and experiences riders alike, and that the stable owner absolutely adores him otherwise someone with less experience may have passed him to someone who had the experience to work with him.

Prompt: Isle loves to participate in quadrille events. When she was little she showed
love in music and whenever she heard music she would do little prances about everywhere. The costumes, teamwork and complex movements she loved all of it. She especially loved feeling the rhythm through her hooves. She has competed in many quadrille dances and the is nothing she cant acheive. The other horse she does quadrille with have become her best friends and they are all inseparable.

Height: 13.2 hh
Halter Color: artist choice!
Prompt:
One would not expect it but Piers is great with younger children. He always knows how to comfort them when they are scared, leaning down and softly nuzzling them. He is a barn favorite lesson horse, always knowing exactly what to do and never spooking. The reason this shocks everyone is how he acts with older riders. One would question if his feet ever even touched the ground with how often he is bucking and jumping.

Barn Name: Haze
Gender: Stallion
Height: 14.2hh
Halter Color: Light Blue
Prompt: Haze's talent was discovered in an unusual way. When Haze was younger, he had a bad jump that resulted in a sprained fetlock. During his recovery, his owners decided to try some swimming therapy to strengthen Haze's ligaments. Haze took to swimming like a duck to water. If the trainer lets him, Haze will swim twice as long as the other horses. When doing laps in the pool, Haze will be flying through the water having the time of his life. What started as therapy became Haze's favorite pastime.
