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.

Here's a second event trotter featuring the Pronghorn marking! However, the important thing about this trotter is that is showcases the incomplete dominance between Pronghorn and Springbok. Since these two genes are on the same locus, this incomplete dominance can only occur when the genotype of a trotter is "PhSpb" or "SpbPh", it can be represented either way. As a result, when bred, these trotters can only pass Springbok OR Pronghorn, not both.

A trotter with the Spb/Ph incomplete dominance will have markings from both individual genes, including the dark side stripe seen in homozygous Springbok.

Since this is more of a example for the incomplete dominance, this comp will just be a simple raffle!
