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.

Give them a name that relates to their shininess!
It can be in the meaning of the name, associated words like "sparkle", "golden", etc, or literally the word "shiny" in their name. I'm excited to see what you come up with c:

Prompt: A sunny trotter like this one reminds me of the heat in the summer that causes surfaces to reflect light and appear like a shimmering pool of water due to light being bent by the heat of the surface itself.

Show Name: Daffodils By The Pond
Barn Name: Narcissus
Gender: Mare
Height: 13.2hh
Halter Color: Shiny copper, maybe even shiny copper to oxidized copper green?
Prompt: Named after the Greek myth and the flower. In Greek mythology Narcissus fell in love with his reflection, and when he died narcissus flowers (daffodils) popped up. This Trotter is so shiny that you could probably see your reflection in their coat. Also, narcissus flowers are usually white and/or yellow, like this Trotter.

Barn Name: Aurum (Latin for 'gold')
Gender: Mare
Height: 14.8 hh
Halter Color: Artist's choice!
Prompt: "Not-so-foolish gold" is a play on an alternate name for pyrite - "Fool's Gold". In my mind, the term implies that only fools would mistake pyrite for gold, so I wanted to convey that this trotter's coat may or may not be just as golden as the real thing. ;-D
