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.

Prompt: I would have said alll the amazing colors, but that's not even the main thing. I just love seeing the competitions and explorations. Really makes me wish I had a Range Trotter of my own, but I have yet to get one. Collecting is one thing, but actually doing something with them is what makes you bond with characters

Prompt: I haven´t been a part of this species for long but am already loving it, especially after getting my first trotter yesterday! This community seems so nice and all those pretty horses and possibilities are amazing. I even entered for the artist search and it gave me happy chills all day at work. It makes me feel so nostalgic to be a part of a big community again like I´ve been 2014-17. It almost feels like I am back in this time when I used to play all night to adopt horses and dogs and be a part of something bigger.
Long story short, it is the mixture of nostalgic and ecstatic emotions rolling over me that make Range Trotters special to me ^^

Prompt: It's a tie between the large variety of markings and all the activities that are available. I love adopts that are interactive, so having the competitions and the explore option is awesome for me. Honestly, seeing the competition results is the highlight of my week! With so much variety in coats, I can also spend hours coming up with new design ideas.

Halter: Eye color but themed like ocean waves
Prompt: I'd have to say my favorite part of the range trotters is the community. Not only are the members of the staff and other customers friendly, but the community is always open and inviting. Its inclusive and the team always has a way of making the environment easygoing and comfortable, even without trying. Especially with the artists, I usually feel like in other communities there's a gap between the members and team, a certain distance. But every encounter I have with them just really brightens my day ^^
