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.

Introducing the Tiger Swallowtail marking!
Based after the Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly, this marking creates boomerang-shaped markings along the body that are usually more widely but uniformly distributed. It always has a black dorsal stripe from the tip of the nose to the base of the tail and shows socks on all four legs with a large broken stripe that leaves a jagged edged marking above the larger part. The stifles also have a sloping marking that follows the musculature of the hind legs. The marking does not color the hair.

To enter, give them a butterfly-based name!

Halter Color: Golden yellow
Explanation: Named after the Cressida cressida butterfly, also known as the clearwing swallowtail or big greasy. It is a Troidine swallowtail butterfly found in northern Australia, New Guinea, Maluku, and Timor. I chose this name because the actual name “Cressida” means gold in Greek and this Trotter is a pretty golden color.
