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.

Barn Name: Leigh
Gender: Mare
Height: 14.2hh
Halter Color: Artist's choice
Prompt: Zodiacs have always been a sore spot for Leigh. She's a Leo but the complete opposite; very shy and afraid of social interaction. She prefers to keep to herself and keep her head down, bowing out of situations where she knows she might possibly be in the spotlight. She constantly battles with not being a stereotypical Leo, and it really breaks her heart sometimes.

Barn Name: Drake
Gender: Stallion
Height: 13.3hh
Halter Color: Eye colour
Prompt: Drake is a virgo. He sees many correlations between his personality and his zodiac sign, particularly his organisational skills. It sometimes is to his detriment, though. He is a control freak and enjoys a predictable life where all of his ducks are in a row. Anything that strays from that can cause him angst and make it hard for him to relax. Despite this, he loves his virgo-like abilities such as his patience, kindness and humble nature.

Barn Name: Tigris
Gender: Stallion
Height: 14.6 hh
Halter Color: Blue
Prompt: Just as the Babylonians discovered the zodiacs first, this trotter also has the first zodiac. Tigris, named after the river within what was the Babylonian Empire, is an Aries, the first recorded zodiac sign. Driven, passionate, and courageous, although at times reckless and short tempered, he’s overall a balanced horse and definitely a good addition to any stable.
