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.

Some appaloosa practice because life is stress lol

What's this Trotter's opinion towards their sport of barrel racing? No word min or max

Prompt: Freckle may be short (okay, really short) but she absolutely loves what she does! As soon as the gate opens, she is sprinting like a thoroughbred for the finish line. Her stature is an advantage when it comes to taking those tight turns -- she practically pirouettes around the barrels. There's a great photo of her rearing -- balanced on just one hind hoof -- around the last barrel, ears pricked with delight, mane and tail flying. She's everyone's favorite pick and it's easy to see why!

Prompt: Sand LOVES barrel racing! Running around is so fun- wait, what's this about a competition? What do you mean you have to do it in front of a noisy crowd? And stand around in a trailer and then a noisy foreign stable beforehand?!? Erm. Well,, he's perfectly happy to practice at home. We'll just have to work on his stage fright.

Halter Color: Eye colour
Prompt: In her younger years, Hathor would have enthusiastically taken any opportunity for barrel racing. As her parents were famed barrel racers, she had to deal with the expectation that she would be good, or even better than them; however this didn't frighten or overwhelm her. She knew she would dominate the arena as she rightfully should, both in heritage and aptitude, and that she did. She was the literal golden child, confident in the competitions and hardworking in training. Now that she is older, she doesn't compete as much as she used to, instead working as a training horse to get new barrel racing riders acquainted and skilled with the sport. She does miss the thrill of competitions at times, but loves giving challenges to new riders all the same.
