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.

Halter: Artist's Choice!
Prompt:

Although rain brings this mare a sense a peace and freshness, it's the humid, steamy aftermath that she relishes. When the sun peaks from the clouds and warms up the earth and sends floods of mist and steam from the ground. The smell, as well, is invaluable to her; wet soil, moist asphalt, soaked through hay bales.

Barn Name: Cirrus
Gender: Mare
Height: 13.1 hh
Halter: Very Light Blue, like the sky on a very sunny day
Prompt: Cirrus loves the weather on a nice and warm spring day, when the sky is mostly clear but every now and then a thick, white cloud pushes herself in front of the sun. She enjoys most to lay on her back and watch the clouds move, observing all the at first glance similar but very different shapes and structures they can build up.
