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.

Barn Name: Dante
Gender: Stallion
Height: 14.9 hh
Halter Color: A rusty metal
Prompt:
Do you think he was born with this face? A masquerade to ward off the unknown? To repeal the darkest evils? Alas no. To his dismay he is slowly becoming a skeleton, a former version of what he once was.
Born a normal horse to the royal stables of the count of Transylvania. He, like his father, was raised to be to go to war and charge forth into battle.
But he shyd away when ridden into mock battles. When swords swung along side his head he would freak out and rear up, dislodging his rider and bolting for the safety of the stables.
Eventually the fear had been thought to have been beaten out of him, compliance set in. It was during a ride into war that his fear came back and he ran from battle into the woods. It was there he met a spirit, a demon and who cursed him with his markings.
Now he forever runs in fear. Never to know a friend or safety. Only misery and panic.

Xerxes

Halter Color:
Silver metal, blue-gray cloth, light blue light (if that’s what this means)
Prompt:
Xerxes is absolutely not afraid of the unknown. In fact, he believes in so many things, many of which are unknown. Some people believe in ghosts and cryptids, and honestly so does he. Look at him, he isn’t exactly a normal looking kind of equine. He even believes in supernatural things like black dogs, werewolves, vampires, and dragons. He believes in shapeshifters and elves. All of these are unknown to most humans, but they too might believe in them. He welcomes the unknown, and hopes to one day make friends with some of these creatures.
