adopts | breedings | imports

INFORMATION;;

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.

Height: 11.3 - 15.2 hh (average of 13-15 hands)
Eyes: any color is acceptable, natural or otherwise
Hair Types: Show (Braided) or Loose
Body Types: Feathers (minor) or Clean (trimmed)

Chubari Spots

Chimerism;
A chimeric horse is the result of two embryos fusing while in utero, and gives a horse two separate base coats. Markings will show over both coats of a chimeric horse, but dilutions will be restricted to the individual coats seen on the horse.
With Range Trotters, chimeric types can only be seen with breedings, and can be either a full coat type or a brindle-type chimeric. Users requesting the breeding do not have any say in which will occur, the artist can choose or roll which type in the case of twin positive offspring.
Artists are free to design chimeric types however they are comfortable, however! If they so choose to have each specific coat hold markings, that is their prerogative. This will not be treated as any different than another chimeric type. ♥

Somatic Mutations;
A somatic mutation is a bodily mutation that can be found in horses, but it is not heritable from parent to offspring. They are thought to be caused by environmental factors or reactions to chemicals that are encountered. This mutation turns a portion of the horses coat "off" and strips a dilution from the area effected. In horses with a dilution, such as a palomino, the mutation will change the coat to chestnut; a bay will have the coat changed to black. Black or chestnut horses with a somatic mutation will have the effected area turn white. In trotters, it usually only strips a single diltion rather than multiple; for example, a Seal Brown Cream may have the cream "turned off" and show the seal brown rather than black.
In Grey horses, it creates blood marks, or the commonly known bloody shoulders.
In Appaloosa horses, it commonly creates what is known as Mismarked Appaloosa.

Halters;
Trotter halters are based off of the in-hand showing halter seen in Welsh Cob shows. These halters are made up entirely of cotton.
There are no metal fittings or clips on these halters.
Halters can be made of a single color, or many, and may be solid or have a design present. This is entirely up to the creating artist.

Edits;
Large or major body edits or additions are not permitted in Range Trotters. This includes, but is not limited to, the addition of any type of leg feathering, wings, sway-backs, roman noses or dished faces.
Small line edits, such as unicorn horns, cloven hooves or mane/tail edits are permitted.
Item edits, including halter or other tack, jewelry or flowers, are permitted.
All acceptable edits are charged for by the creating artist with imports.
Special adopts or community wide events may have larger edits, subject to approval by HowlingHooves.

Gulustra Plume has recently been noted to be seen in any paint based
marking that has low white, such as minimal sabino, slipped tobiano,
or minimal splash. It is no longer restricted as a Sabino only occurrence.

Corn marks can be seen in any roan. They are made of damaged hair
follicles that occur from minor injury to the skin, and the hair grows
back as the base coat beneath the white.

Watermark greys are not restricted, they are usually seen
in young horses as portions of the coat lighten in but other areas
remain darker in color until they grey out fully.

If MstySty/StyMsty, the horse will show regular sooty but can pass Masked Sooty to offspring.

Irish Tobiano (u)
ItoIto / Itoito
xx | xx | xx
Similar to the Irish White marking seen in canines, Irish Tobiano limits the white to the neck, face and forelegs.
It is dominant to Tobiano, and will show even if a carrier of both regular and Irish types. (ItoTo/Itoto)

Van Splash (u)
VsplVspl / Vsplspl
xx | xx | xx
Splash that mimics the white coverage seen in Turkish Van cats.
The ears, forehead and rump are never white. Heterozygous (Vsplvspl) may show some coat near or around the elbows.
Homozygous will never show any part of the base except the ears and rump, and the forehead marking will be broken up.
It is dominant to regular Splash, and will show even if a carrier of both regular and Van types. (VsplSpl/Vsplspl)

Lynx Grey (c)
xx | xx | xx
A type of grey that mimics the ticking seen in Eurasian Lynx cats, it also gives a tabby look to the face.

Demoiselle Grey (c)

A type of grey that mimics the fade appearance in the Demoiselle Crane, leaving the head, neck and chest exposed.

Breasted Grey (c)
xx | xx | xx
A type of grey that mimics the Rose-breasted Grosbeak, leaving the chest and throat exposed.

Quagga (l)
qaqa only!

A type of zebra striping that is restricted to the face, neck and shoulders, though can somtimes extend along the topline of the back and show around the knees and hocks.
It is always a ruddy brown color.
A fully recessive marking, it can be passed to offspring but will not appear unless both parents are carriers and pass one copy.

Rau (l)
+Rau

Rau has a 50% chance to be passed to a foal if there is one quagga parent!
Any quagga parent, showing Rau or not, can pass this to their foals.
If Rau gene is present in a non-quagga trotter their offspring can still receive Rau.

Thylacine (r)
ThyThy / Thythy
Tasmanian Tail possible
xx
A type of striping along the spine, it can appear with as little as two stripes and as many as ten.
If there is a stripe near the base, or dock, of the tail, it can cause the tail to become a brown color.

Smoke (uc)
E_ aa +Smoke
This gene gives a silver-grey pangare effect on black bases only.
xx
A type of pangare that appears in black based trotters (E_ aa) that gives a silver grey appearance to the horses soft points.

Camarillo White (r)
CwCw / Cwcw
xx | xx
A type of dominant white coat color that overrides any other underlying genes with a pale cream coat.
Heterozygous [Cwcw] is a slightly darker, more tanned version of the coat with light gray muzzle/eye skins.
Homozygous [CwCw] is a pale, nearly white cream shade with light pink muzzle/eye skins.

Roaned White (u)
RwRw / Rwrw
xx | xx | xx
A gene similar to PATN1 that affects tobiano, overo, sabino, dominant white, and splash only when those white genes are also present in the genotype. It cannot express without a white gene present. It 'roans' out the white in a similar fashion to roan in dogs.
It can express is heavy, moderate or minimum roaned fashion.

Dun Brindle (l)
B+B+ / B+b+
xx | xx
A mutation of brindle that expresses barring and spotting on the legs and body.
Homozygous expressions have thicker stripes with less spots, socks on all four legs, and a white belly.
Heterozygous expressions have thinner stripes and more spotting than stripes.
Both always have tipped or fully affected ears and fully affected manes and tails.
Regular expressions take on the color of the coat's would-be dun factor. Reverse expressions take on a pale/shaded white color.

Okapi (c)
OkpOkp / Okpokp
xx | xx
This marking has different states, depending upon its zygosity (dominance). In heterozygous carriers, it will only show the white barring on the legs and hindquarters. In homozygous carriers, the face shows a progressive greying that varies among individuals, and a darkening of the hind end completely, along with the white barring.
The legs will always have a split stocking, with the lower portion white being as minimum as coronets or as large as socks; the upper stocking will never pass above the knees and hocks, where it becomes barring rather than a solid marking.

Isabella (r)
ii / Ii (carrying)
xx | xx
A recessive dilute that turns the skin of a horse pink, lightens the hooves, and dilutes the coat to a shade of taupe shade.
Unlike mushroom, however, the mane and tail will not lighten, but will become a shade darker than the coat.
This gene can be seen in any base coat, it is not restricted to a certain coat.
Foals expressing this gene will have a very light coat and then darken with age, but their manes and tails will remain mostly the same shade from foal to adult.

Surgeon's Coat (c)
ScSc / Scsc
xx | xx | xx
This marking adds a cloak similar to what can be seen on the Blue Tang fish. It acts as a dilute and the marking will be a darker shade than the base coat, including other dilutions; it will show over any other dilute such as grey, cream, champagne and agouti factors. On black, it may appear as a lighter shade of the coat instead.

Thrush (c)
ThrThr / Thrthr
xx | xx| xx
Can appear with the markings Tobiano, Overo, Splash, Sabino and Dominant White.
In its homozygous form, it will limit the expression on the face of the trotter to just covering the lower jaw and adding a sort of feather frill around the eyes. This is not present in heterozygous expressions of the marking, though the face may or may not be covered by the paint marking. It also adds crescent shapes from the chin, down the neck, shoulders, front of the legs and belly of the paint marking. These can be small or large, but do not go further than the knees and hocks, nor up past the midline of the horse.

Butterfly Spots (c)
BtsBts / Btsbts
xx | xx | xx
This marking adds spots to the legs and face of a horse; these spots tend to have alternating sizes in rows, varying from dime sized to egg sized. These spots can be seen from the shoulder and flank down in homozygous cases, with most heterozygous types showing spotting from the elbow and stifle down the legs. Spotted on the face will never go above the eyes or touch the neck.
When breeding two butterfly spotted trotters together, there is a 1 in 4 chance that the spots can be black instead of white!
This color change is random, so two white spotted can give a black spotted, and two black spotted can give a white spotted!
The normal color of this marking is white, black colored spots are a breeding-only occurrence.
Black spotting cannot be obtained from breeding one butterfly spotted to a horse without the marking.

Bunder (c)
BuBu / Bubu
xx | xx | xx
Adds large, circular white spots on the face, ears, shoulders and hips, along the spine and the legs. These spots can be as few as one single spot on the shoulder or face, or be as many as multiple fist sized spots along the upper body. Spots do not appear along the middle of the barrel or on the neck. It is common for smaller spots to appear in the center of larger, hollow "halo" like spots, as shown on this trotter. If white touches the base of the tail or the mane, it will change the color as with other white markings.

Chaetodon (c)
CtCt / Ctct
xx | xx
a gold, thin to thick striped marking that can be seen on the coat. It is modeled after the Butterfly Fish, the name of the marking being taken from the scientific name.
This marking is seen under white markings and sooty/jackal types. It is a common marking, and can be found on any base coat; the color itself is always a golden-yellow, though the tone may change from darker to lighter depending upon the individual. It is a marking, not a dilution, so it would not be altered by other dilutes such as a grey, pearl or brew.
This marking will never fully cover the horse, but it can cover any area; there will always be at least one stripe seen over the eyes. The stripes themselves can vary in size. There is always at least one, but no known max amount of stripes seen on a single horse. Stripes usually vary in size on each horse, with many showing both thin and thicker stripes.

Mandarin (r)
Ct_ MdMd / Mdmd
This gene is a modifier of Chaetodon, and won't express without Ct_. Mandarin curls the chaetodon stripes, often creating spirals and squares.This trotter exhibits the maximum expression possible, as it won't ever cover the entire body - just as regular chaetodon is. It may express in as few as one line. There will always be at least one line over the eye.

Marbled Splash (u)
MsplMspl / Msplmspl
xx | xx | xx
This gene will produce moderate to high white splashes. Color will always be present on the withers and spine with a crown to mask like face marking. Tails are will always be two toned: coat color to white.
The heterozygous expression can show the most base coat color as it can reach down to the shoulders while the homozygous expression will be nearly all white with color mainly seen along the dorsal.
For both expressions the face is nearly all white except for a mask/crown like marking by or above the eyes & the ears.

Moonspot / Moonspotting (u)
MnsMns / Mnsmns
xx | xx | xx
This marking is similar to paleo and grease spots; however this have a few fun twists! Based on the coat marking moonspotting for goats; it has a randomized spotting heavily throughout the body. On darker bases the spots will show lighter. Meanwhile on light bases the spots will be darker. It’s more commonly seen heavy spotted versus uncommon to see minimal spotting. Also, as shown above it has an affect with brindle similar to its own effect but reversed!

Arapaima (u)
The arapaima marking is a type of roaning that is situated over the hindquarters; it can move up toward the shoulders and neck, but never touch the forelegs or face and also the flank is never colored by the marking. Very often has "corn marks" that show the base coat.
RmRm | Rmrm
xx || xx

Lemur Grey (u)
Lemur Grey is another grey variant!
The grey on the face is usually much lighter than the rest of the grey, as well as near the hooves and the back of the legs. The base coat can usually be seen on the back, head or nose of the trotter, where the grey can be most faint. The area around has the eye a lot of contrast, usually a darker color than the base. Some trotters with Lemur grey may also show the ringed tail, similar to a ringed lemur. This ringed appearance may also show on the legs, but not both.
xx || xx

Panther Chameleon (u)
This marking adds lighter or darker shades, depending upon the base coat, of broad stripes from the neck down the body; horizontal stripes are found on the legs. These stripes almost always cross over and under the body, but are rarely uniform in shape.

This single stripe does not touch cross over to the opposite side of the body in any location, however.
There will also always be a line that traces the lips and moves upward near the eyes in the same creamy color.
The dark stripes do not change the color of the mane, tail or hooves.

The bottom lip and chin area always white, as is the fuller body of the nose.
MwMw | Mwmw
xx || xx

Oryx (u)
The legs and head are white, similar to pangare, most of the body is framed in black. The head is black and white, the white part forming an "X" on the forehead.

Pronghorn (u)
Thi marking, similar to Springbok, adds both white and a darker shade of the coat in specific areas on the body. The underbelly and inner legs, back of the rump, and slope of the shoulder are always white. There are commonly forward-facing cresecent markings, moving toward the face, on the throat latch, and a wide white marking on the face from the sides of the forehead down to the chin; the eyes and the nostrils are never white.
A darker shade of the base coat will always be seen over the face and between the white markings from the cheek to the throatlatch.
This marking shares an incomplete dominance with Springbok, meaning they share the same locus.
This incomplete dominance can only occur when the genotype of a trotter is "PhSpb" or "SpbPh", it can be represented either way. As a result, when bred, these trotters can only pass Springbok OR Pronghorn, not both. A trotter with both genes will always showcase both of the dark patches seen in each marking; the darker face and throat latch of Pronghorn, and the side stripe of Springbok.

Tiger Swallowtail (u)
This marking creates boomerang-shaped markings along the body that are usually more widely but uniformly distributed. It always has a black dorsal stripe from the tip of the nose to the base of the tail and shows socks on all four legs with a large broken stripe that leaves a jagged edged marking above the larger part. The stifles also have a sloping marking that follows the musculature of the hind legs. The marking does not color the hair.

Heron (u)
This feathered friend inspired gene will change depending on whether or not the trotter is heterozygous or homozygous for the Hr gene:
HrHr will result in a dark cap that covers the front of the trotter's face, half of the eye, the entire ears, and part of the upper neck topline. This dark cap will always darken the forelock and any mane it touches, but will appear under any white markings including blazes or other facial markings. Additionally, HrHr will cause the white markings similar to those seen on a Green Heron to be shown.
Hrhr will only show the dark cap, there will be no white heron markings on a heterozygous trotter

Northern Flicker (u)
This marking creates a black upside down crescent at the bottom of the neck and over the upper chest, and a stripe from the point of the mouth backwards. This stripe will never extend past the eyes. The tail is always two toned with black being the more dominant color from the tips upward.

Amano Spots (u)
This marking appears as multiple rows of different sized spots, most commonly three, from eye to tail. It also adds a back stripe, spots around the eyes and two curved lines from eye to nose mimicking antenna. Mane and tail color will always appear solid. The markings color depends on the natural mane/tail color at 50% opacity, except the eye spots which are 100% opacity.

Snow Leopard (r)
Similar to the Jaguar marking, this marking appears over dilutes, but under other marking types such as white markings or sooty/jackal.
Snow Leopard features large rosettes; these rosettes appear all over the body, but turn into full dark spots around the stomach and legs. The spots on the head and face tend to become smaller with more being present. Also within this marking is a sort of pangare effect around the stomach, neck, flank, and cheek.
These spots will always be a cool grey color, but can lighten or darken depending on the base.

Clouded Leopard (r)
Trotters with clouded leopard have mainly large rosettes with a kind of shadow and internal marking that appear anywhere but below the knees/hocks. The rosettes merge into somewhat feline stripes and spots on the head and also get more spotty down the legs. The marking appears over dilutes, but under other sooty and white markings.

Jaguar (r)
Jaguar shows large rosettes; these rosettes appear anywhere but on the legs below the knees/hocks, and on the bridge of the nose down to the muzzle. The spots on the head and face tend to become smaller with more being present.
Unlike Snow or Clouded Leopard, these rosettes will always have spotting in the middle of them. They are also always a deeper color than the base coat; not necessarily black, as seen above, but they show in stark contrast to the coat. If on a black coat, they may be harder to see, however.
This is a type of marking that appears over dilutes, but under other marking types such as white markings or sooty/jackal.

Malaysian Snakehead (r)
This black marking gives sharp ridged lines from the head to the hindquarters; the lines may be solid or broken. There are always at least two lines, one along the spine and the other from the eye down the sides. It may or may not have a sheen to it.
The peaks of this marking are sharp, never round. The lines can be thin like shown, or a thicker like the fish itself.
Leg markings never go below the upper areas, nor are there any seen anywhere else on the face and ears.
The mane and tail are not effected by this marking.

Baby Tapir (l)
This marking expresses as cream striping that turns more spotty down the legs and on the head. The stripes on the rump can be solid or broken up and the shell of the ear always has a cream color.
Tapir brindle only expresses with dun brindle (B+) and is recessive to standard dun brindle types.

Giraffe Spots (l)
This modifier creates a light outline in the shape of the various giraffe types. Spots may or may not have a shadowed effect around the base color. The spots fade out the further they move down the legs, and are never visible below the knees and hocks. This marking is seen over the base coat directly, but under other markings and modifiers.
