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.
The Panther Chameleon!
This marking adds lighter or darker shades, depending upon the base coat, of broad stripes from the neck down the body; horizontal stripes are found on the legs. These stripes almost always cross over and under the body, but are rarely uniform in shape.
There is always a stripe along the side in an off-white, creamy color that can be solid or broken.
This single stripe does not touch cross over to the opposite side of the body in any location, however.
There will also always be a line that traces the lips and moves upward near the eyes in the same creamy color.
The dark stripes do not change the color of the mane, tail or hooves.
