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.

Winter / Spring

As winter ends / Slowly spring awakes
The snow recedes / From the new spring grass
Green shoots peeking out / Buds gently blooming
A vibrance of colour / Against a once-dull landscape
Buds gently blooming / Green shoots peeking out 

From the new spring grass / The snow recedes
Slowly spring awakes / As winter ends

A poem I wrote! It is a twin cinema poem, a poetry form created by a Singaporean poet Yeow Kai Chai. It can be read from left to right like a normal poem. You can also read only the lines on the left of the slash (/) or only the lines on the right, and they would form a poem on their own as well.

Prompt:

I can't imagine what it'd be like without anew
The flowers regrow and the weather begins to warm
It's where my hope first grew
Unlike the other seasons, spring never tends to conform

It's independent like the moon
But bright like the sun
A quiet yet beautiful tune
It's joyful and fun
It's time to restart and forget what you've done

Galloping through fields of green,
Horses in spring, a sight serene.
Manes and tails, wild and free,
Graceful creatures, a joy to see.

Hooves that pound the earth below,
As they run and play and glow.
In the warmth of sun and breeze,
Their spirit soars with playful ease.

Eyes that sparkle, nostrils flare,
As they frolic without a care.
In springtime fields they dance and prance,
These majestic creatures, born to enhance.

Oh, horses in spring, what a sight!
Their beauty fills my heart with delight.
May they roam and run and play,
Forever in the fields of May.
