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.

This kiddo is based off of the Allosaurus.

Cycad: Ancient seed plants that were common during the time of the dinosaurs and are still common today

Because most people think of the big lizards, but the plants were huge too! ;) Cycads were first seen in the Triassic period, lasted through the Jurassic, Cretaceous, and even to today! They're a huge family of plants that have stood the test of time. If you've ever wondered what cycads might live in your neck of the woods, you can check here!

Show Name: Rivalry Of Giants
Barn Name: Marsh
Gender: Mare
Name Meaning:
Marsh was named after the paleontologist Othniel Charles Marsh who first described the genus Allosaurus in 1877 from bone fragments found in Colorado.
Her show name is referencing that some paleontologists believe Allosaurus' were cooperative, social, and hunted in packs. However, others believe Allosaurus' may have been aggressive toward each other, and that different lone individuals fed on the same carcasses as scavengers.
