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: Geti
Gender: Mare
Height: 13.1 hh
Halter Color: Something safari-y, maybe zebra stripes or cheetah spots?
Prompt: Dew and frost patterns! Every morning Geti makes a beeline for the nearest open pasture and starts trotting. What starts off as a few wobbly lines in the morning dew gradually turns into an ornate mandala drawn in hoofprints. Her handiwork evaporates with the morning sun, of course, but that's half the fun! Every morning she's got a fresh canvas to breathe life into.

Show Name: Toasted Caramel Brulée
Barn Name: Caramel
Gender: Stallion
Height: 15.2
Halter Color: Perhaps a burnt orange? Or something with a similar effect of dark burn looking? Or something complementary with a similar burn color effect? (^_^" I don't mind if the artist chooses the exact shades..)
Prompt: They like to create beautiful images but they also like the excitement of fire. To get to use both things they love, they create with gunpowder art. It is similar to sand art drawings, but they get to set it on fire afterwards and it creates a beautiful stippling effect. They got the inspiration from an artist Danny Shervin.

Gender: Mare
Height: 15 HH
Halter Color: Surprise Me
Prompt: I believe it would be painting. She would use natural resources for her own paint, from certain flowers to grass and leaves, she would do it all. Which gives way to her feeling more connected with the earth and each painting she creates.
