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: A local candy store makes cherry-flavored chocolates for Valentines, and they absolutely get my vote. They're the perfect mix of sweet and rich, and the red cherry flavor woven through the brown and white of the base chocolate is just gorgeous.

Prompt: Anything dark or milk chocolate with raspberry or vanilla cream in the center. A solid exterior with a soft and flavorful interior that melts in your mouth as soon as you take a bite. The only times I've found these types of chocolates were in the assorted boxes you find around this time of the year... which isn't a terrible thing, because it just makes them worth savoring more. <3

Prompt: In the town I lived in previously there was this absolutely incredible old fashioned candy store - suitably named Incredible Popcorn - that had a variety of really unique sweets for each holiday. Valentines was my favorite as they sold this small box of homemade heart shaped reeses peanut butter type chocolates, covered in crumbled popcorn, and drizzled with different flavored crunchy candy glazes or tinted caramels. Super pretty, insanely delicious, and by some magical stroke of luck dairy free so I could actually enjoy a holiday treat without having to sell an organ or two to afford it haha

Prompt: I have a new found love for caramel popcorn! I don't know how in my entire life it took me until recently to succumb to the deliciousness of caramel popcorn but it has an iron grasp on me. My favorite kind that I've had so far is caramel popcorn with white and milk chocolate drizzle with candied pecans mixed in. My mouth is watering just thinking about it...
