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.

Prompt: my favourite gift of 2022 was inheriting my late grans mini JRT dog Trixie, I only had her for 4 weeks and two days before she followed her late owner but she was the best gift. She learned to become friends with my husky and learned to enjoy herself in a completely new setting. I miss her dearly but she was definitely my most treasured gift. My gran left her to me and I was honoured to be able to be there for them both 💕

Prompt: For Christmas my boyfriend got me a necklace with individual links that resembled snake vertebrae, extending all the way around the necklace in one long unbroken spine. It's beautiful and very sentimental because vertebrae are by far my favorite bones and I've loved snakes for as long as I can remember. It was such a thoughtful gift and I take it with me everywhere because it reminds me of him. We're long distance at the moment but he still puts in so much effort to let me know that I am loved and cared for, it made Christmas this year so special haha

Congratulations! I'm so glad Trixie had a safe place to land, and that you got to hold on to a piece of your grandmother a little while longer. <3 Enjoy your new stripey friend!
