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.

This trotter seems to be a hybrid of sorts :eyes:
This big fella is what happens when you take a common Oryx trotter, and cross them with a Springbok trotter ! To achieve this marking, the trotter must have Spb_ and Oryx_ genes, however if the Oryx gene is dominant, the black markings may be thicker and longer.

To win this fella, tell me what another trotters reaction is to seeing them for the first time !

Prompt: When Kane saw Naomi for the first time he was completely shocked! When Kane had first come to Oak Haven, he felt a bit unusual because of his unique markings. But soon, he made fast friends with Max who shared his exotic white coloration, as well as Apex who shared his bold stripes. Now, he didn't mean to gawk when he first laid eyes on Naomi, but Kane certainly didn't believe in love at first site until he caught a glimpse of this particular mare. He almost tripped head over hooves while he watched as she pranced out into the field next to his, and immediately started to plan how he was going to win the affection of this stunning newcomer.

Prompt:

The first time Mariposa saw Sproryx was at a competition. Sproryx was competing in the show jumping event while Mariposa was in dressage. The contrasting coat patterns on Sproryx was almost mesmerizing, and he flawlessly jumped his way to the next level. Mariposa has always been a little self conscious of her own strange markings, but after seeing him look and do so good in his skin, it gave her confidence to show off a little and embrace her own uniqueness.

Prompt: Kajsa heard a new horse would be joining the barn and was very surprised at the sight of the new mare in the pasture. She was beautiful! Kajsa was in awe of Dianas markings, it was unlike anything she had ever seen before.

Barn Name: Sandstorm
Gender: Stallion
Height: 16hh
Halter Color: Black
Prompt: Jett didn’t take much notice of Sandstorm at first, however noticing the attention he drew he chose to become friends with him. Jett is a particularly reserved and shy stallion, preferring to remain concealed away from large herds or more than a couple of individuals in the pasture. Having a friend with striking, unusual markings like Sandstorm allowed Jett to integrate within the herd more and gain more friends, which in-turn allowed him to come out of his shell more and gain more confidence.

Prompt: When Baba Yaga first saw Rasputin, it was love at first sight. She never really believed in this phenomenon, but when she saw him... she knew. Being a quirky mare herself, she knows what it's like to be stared at, whispered about, and Rasputin receives some of the same treatment being such a flashy guy. One day she'll work up the courage to talk to him...
