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: When Jasmine got to see the world outside of the barn, she was so mesmerized. She saw the vehicles the humans drove in, she saw the snow during the winter, she saw the sheep in the pasture next to her, she saw the rain, she saw a whole new world!

    Prompt: The first time Nimbus left the stables, he was very nervous. His mother led the way, but Nimbus froze in the doorway. He was shaking slightly, afraid of this new world. Suddenly, he was bumped into from behind as two other foals raced outdoors. Nimbus watched them race around the paddock, and without even realizing, stepped through the doorway. The two foals noticed Nimbus watching their fun, and quickly convinced him to join them. They raced around and frolicked in the paddock for several hours. When Nimbus was tucked away in his stall with his mother later that night, he could only think of how much fun being outside was, and that he couldn't wait to explore this new world.
