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.

This Trotter is showcasing one of our Halloween markings:

The Nightmare (rare)
TnTn / Tntn
Somatic black markings that resemble long claw marks, they can appear anywhere on horse but usually seen on rump and chest/shoulders.

Prompt: My best friend and I started doing this a couple of years back so it's a new tradition but basically the only one I have. We carve pumpkins together, watch Hocus Pocus, make dinner together, and bake cookies <3 Sometimes if we have more time after Hocus Pocus we'll watch a more scary movie that I pick out. The bat cookies we tried to make last year turned out looking more like Mothman and he accidentally put a plastic Tupperware lid in the oven because it got stuck to the bottom of the baking tray, which melted all over the oven and I still laugh myself to tears every time I look at the pictures or think about it. Looking forward to seeing what all we can mess up this year

Prompt: My favorite Halloween season tradition is watching Over The Garden Wall with my friends. It's a yearly tradition for us to watch the show together as a way to celebrate the changing of the seasons. I've made time to watch it every year since it came out in 2014. We bake tons of yummy desserts like pumpkin cookies, dirt and worm pudding, and rice crispies. And of course we need a delicious hearty soup and some fresh baked bread. It feels so warm, yet a bit melancholy reflecting on the year gone by and how it feels to be headed towards winter once again. x

Prompt:
As much as we love carving pumpkins every year and eating candy corn. Our favorite tradition is a small one. We have black paper bats that we hand on a swirl on our wall ever year. In the middle, it's small bats and at the end the bats are up to 10 inches wide! The way they are set up they look like there's a swarm of bats coming out of a cave at you! We will get the picture ASAP
