The National Range Trotters Association (NRTrA) formally began in 2015, by a man named Jackson Devin. Prior to his forming the association, his great grandparents owned a rather bustling ranch in western Europe, but immigrated to the United States in the 1930's. Though they sold many of their horses, they brought with them one Hanoverian mare, two Orlov trotter mares, a large Welsh Cob mare and a Finnhorse stallion.
After settling into their new home in the midwestern United States, they eventually imported two other horses; a large Hanoverian stallion and a Welsh Cob mare. These seven horses began their line of all-around work horses, eventually becoming the first Range Trotters, and they were well known in the area for their eagerness to please and do all sorts of work, as well as their athleticism when being used as jumpers in the show ring. Jackson's grandparents continued the line, but their children moved into other areas of interest in their lives and Range Trotters had a stagnant period for some time. Jackson began breeding them once more in 1999 at the age of eighteen, various interviews with the man stating that he fondly remembered these horses from time spent with his grandparents. The introduction of Quarter Horses, Paint and Appaloosa horses is quite recent, but has only added to the breeds hardiness and versatility.

The NRTrA is now offering Futurity classes to enrich and reward those dedicated to the continual refinement and preservation of quality within the breed. A Futurity title (or lack thereof) will not impact a Trotter's future eligibility for Championship titles, but holds it's own value in promoting the best and brightest of each season's youngsters.
