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.
Meet the Malaysian Snakehead! This black marking gives sharp ridged lines from the head to the hindquarters; the lines may be solid or broken. There are always at least two lines, one along the spine and the other from the eye down the sides.
The peaks of this marking are sharp, never round. The lines can be thin like shown, or a thicker like the fish itself.
Leg markings never go below the upper areas, nor are there any seen anywhere else on the face and ears.
The mane and tail are not effected by this marking.
Just a quick and dirty raffle. But name this one after a carnivorous fish!
End Date: tomorrow evening! (4/18)
