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.

Tell me how this Trotter feels about their skull marking! Do they like it, hate it, etc.

Barn Name: Widow
Gender: Mare
Height: 14.2 hh
Halter Color: Widow spider colors, please!
Prompt: Widow is more indifferent, truth be told; her fellow older herd mates aren’t bothered and therefore she isn’t bothered either. But her facial feature certainly frightens off those endlessly irritating young ones, which is something she does appreciate! Not at all the motherly type, this mare definitely doesn’t like foals or yearlings and so uses her markings to scare them off and away from here, all the while she can graze in peace with the old fogies she enjoys being with.

Prompt: Echo has mixed feelings about her skull. It tends to scare off others, but that's no something her introverted self minds all too much. She does like that she doesn't have to bother dressing up for halloween!

Barn Name: Keres
Gender: Mare
Height: 14hh
Halter Color: Eye Color
Prompt: As a filly, Keres was shameful of her marking as the other foals would spook and hide whenever she approached them. But this did not diminish her spirit, and as she grew older she would hide behind trees on foggy mornings to spook her herdmates and get a good laugh. Her outgoing personality shone through her frightening appearance, and she began to appreciate the benefits of her markings. Smaller predators looking to snatch foals would turn tail and run at the sight of her, and bachelor stallions sneaking into the herd thought she was an omen of death and skittered away. Now the mare holds herself proud within her herd, growing close to the elder, easily irritated stallions that didn't fear her and memorizing their stories by heart.
