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.

Show Name: ORT A Thousand Miles to Go
Barn Name: Memory
Gender: Mare
Height: 15hh
Halter Color: Artist's Choice
Prompt: Memory has always stood out but, in her opinion, for the wrong reason. When others first meet her, they comment on her unique coat. They deem her the "pretty" one, and that's all they see her as. Memory wishes that others saw her for more than her looks. She devotes so much time and energy to training but is never the athlete or competitor. She welcomes and guides new horses around the stables but is never the sweet or kind one. But now, coming to a new home, Memory feels like she has a chance. A chance to be seen for who she really is, not just for how she looks.

Barn Name: Germaine
Gender: Stallion
Height: 15.1 hh
Halter Color: artist choice
Prompt:Germaine spent his days alone in the sodden-down pasture. Ever since the passing of his owner he was left alone minus when one of the children showed up once a week to feed him and the mares. This was never what he imagined his life to be, ever since he was a colt he thought he would be spending his day's training for shows. Little kids would braid his mane and tail rather than them being left in the ratty mess they currently were. Germaine headed up to the hill once the bats began to dance through the sky. Every day for as long as he can remember Germaine would make his way to the hill to watch the sunset. Without fail he would wish for a better life. The one he dreamed of as a colt. Where he could finally find out what he was truly meant for. 
His whole life had been changed. Never did he imagine that he would be jumping in shows and bringing home first place after first place. Germaine had been rescued from his home and sent to a nice barn to help him through rehabilitation. Once he was cleared, a teenage girl decided to take a chance on him and turn him into her horse. He got everything he ever wanted with her. Finally Germaine knew who he was and what he was meant to do.
