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.

I love you and miss you so much little man. Thank you for watching over me every day to make sure that I didn't get hurt and was never alone, you were always there for me with kindness and cuddles whenever I was having a bad day and throughout all the other losses we have suffered. You were the sweetest little cat with the softest fur and the funniest way of demanding attention by playing Insurance Fraud. I still haven't adjusted to your absence, whenever I'm in one of the rooms I still expect you to be poking your head around the corner waiting for treats or attention, and it hurts so bad to look at those places and to never see you there. I love and miss you forever. I can't wait to see you again some day. In the meantime I know you're safe and resting easy in a beautiful ray of sunshine in the soft sawdust somewhere better.

To the wonderful Gus Gus,

All animals that come into our lives leave a mark on our hearts. They bring us joy, unconditional love, and laughs without asking for much in return. They comfort us in times of sorrow, loving us without question. No matter how we view ourselves, animals seem to see only the best in us. They see our potential for generosity, selflessness, and care for the life on this little blue and green marble. Gus, not only have you touched the lives of the people and animals around you, you touched the lives of so many others that you've never even met. I know that you're living it up in eternal kitty paradise, and that from time to time you'll peak through the clouds and keep and keep an eye out for Chris and everyone else that loves you.

With all my love,
Pandora (and all of my critters across the rainbow bridge waiting to embrace you) ♡
