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.

Prompt: Check out the beautiful beast of a fish this trotter's markings are designed after: the arapaima itself! A fun fact about the arapaima is that the male fish actually hold their eggs in their mouth until the young are ready to hatch, and the female fish acts as a protector for her mate & the babies! They are among the world's largest freshwater fish growing as long as nearly ten feet, and weigh up to 440lbs. (Many people may also recognize the arapaima as a rare fish in Animal Crossing!) x

The American Bison

Did you know that American bison's ancestors can be traced to southern Asia
thousands of years ago? Bison made their way to America by crossing the ancient
land bridge that once connected Asia with North America during the Pliocene Epoch,
some 400,000 years ago. These ancient animals were much larger than the iconic
bison we love today. Fossil records show that one prehistoric bison,
Bison latiforns, had horns measuring 9 feet from tip to tip!
