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: Time
Gender: Mare
Halter: artist pick
Prompt: She would travel to the past. She lost her mother in a barn fire when she was a foal and doesn't remember much of her. The only things she remembers about her mom is her smell and when she got Time out of the fire but she went back in to save the other horses. A lot of horses came out but none were her mom. She would take this opportunity to meet her mother and try to tell her not to go back in to save the other horses

Barn Name: Roya
Gender: Mare
Halter: Eye color!
Prompt:

If she could, Roya would travel to the past -- years ago when more of her kind were running wild and free. No paddocks, no limits, just miles and miles of new and undiscovered land to explore with the safety of her herd. Relying on the warmth and protection from each other against the elements or any would-be predators.

Roya - of Persian origin meaning 'premonition' or 'dream.'

Barn Name: Yui
Gender: Mare
Halter: Artist's choice!
Prompt: Yui would choose to travel to the future. This isn't to say that she doesn't have anything in her past she would like to change, that would be far from the truth, but in her mind at least, she's already experienced everything that the past has to offer her, and the future is the next and biggest question that she has unanswered, and her insatiable curiosity demands that she go forward. She has always lived her life forwards in every sense of the word, charging headfirst into the biggest challenge, rolling the dice with every day.

Barn Name: Melancholy
Gender: stallion
Halter: ufa gradient
Prompt: (Based on this years winner)
Melancholy would obviously travel to the past, without hesitation. Back to his careless foal time, when he was still free running with his herd, head in the clouds, sleeping on moss and bathing in crystal clear mountain rivers daily. His father was the lead stallion, and it would have been Mel´s fate too, if the humans hadn´t captured him as yearling. It was a long procedure and Mel gave his best to not give in, but after almost a year of hoping his family would safe him, he gave up. Every night when the stars shine bright on the dark sky, it reminds him of his past. One night he saw a shooting star and remembered what his mother told him a long time ago: If you see a shooting star, make a wish and it might come true. So he did just that and wished to be free again. His wish shall be granted, but not as he wanted it to be. The very next day, strange humans came he´s never seen before, but they seemed much more gentle than the others he knew. This day he indeed got free, at least free from the abusive owners he knew, and insted was brought to a horse ranch, up in the north mountains with many different horses of similar fate. Here he could find peace, for now, but at least he got closer to the stars and his family, but he could never forget his promise to get back to his herd.
