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.

Gender: Stallion
Height: 14.2hh
Halter: black & white, tuxedo inspired maybe?
Prompt: Sebastian is crying because his favorite Urban Decay eyeliner from Hot Topic just broke and his mom won't drive him to the mall to get a new one. He went on tumblr to write a vent post about it, but instead got caught up in Danganronpa ship wars so now he's crying even harder. He gave up on tumblr and instead went on Animal Jam to see if any of his friends were online, which they weren't. He tried to do some trading instead but totally got scammed by a troll trying to get rare items for free! Sebastian had to lay on the ground, hug his favorite Castiel plush, and listen to My Chemical Romance just to calm down from this whole ordeal.

Halter: Artist's choice!
Prompt: Scissorhands wants to love someone... he is a soft boy, who just wants to shower someone with affection. Unfortunately he will never be able to hold a loved one tight, like humans can... because he's a horse. But this is really what he wants. Maybe someday he'll accept the fact that he can't be quite the cuddler he wants to be, but for now he is just a big sad guy, crying alone in his dark corner from loneliness.

Prompt: Honestly she had a pretty bad day at work and all she wanted to do was go home and curl up under a blanket and watch her favorite movie and eat ice cream. WELL, she got home and immediately spilled her coffee on the floor and when she went to grab some paper towels she bonked her head on the cabinet. Ice cream and movie time...oh but wait, someone ate all the ice cream and left the empty container in the freezer. Well, it's hard to mess up a movie. Wait...was that the screeching of seagulls she heard? Lady ran outside and sure enough, those noisy birds had knocked the satellite dish off its positioning. Lady pouted and sulked back inside, thank goodness for Netflix.
