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.

Barn Name: Poe
Gender: Stallion
Height: 14.1hh
Halter Color: Charcoal
Prompt: Poe's best friend is a raven. They met while taking shelter from a thunderstorm; Poe had ducked under a tree to get out of the rain and almost ran back out when a dark shape up in the canopy cried out a caw of delight with the next boom of thunder. Poe mustered his courage and whinnied a tentative hello up at the shadow, and a raven came fluttering down to a lower branch, twisting its head back and forth to take in Poe. Poe had always liked birds, and after another hour of being under the tree together, the two were fast friends. Once the storm cleared, the raven flew off over the mist covered field, and Poe galloped after them. Since then, the two will frequently meet up for games of chase, or the raven will perch on Poe's back as he grazes. Neither is a big talker, but they pass the time in congenial silence, content to enjoy each others' company. At night, the raven will perch on a rafter above where Poe is sleeping, and Poe loves waking up to a small shower of feathers as his friend shakes out their wings in the morning.

Barn Name: Kita
Gender: Mare
Height: 13.2hh
Halter Color: Baby pink
Prompt: Kita's best friend is a bumblebee named Zee. Kita is severely allergic to bee stings and the first time she met Zee was a seriously scary encounter. Poor Kita was chased around her field by Zee, who only wanted to be friends! After this misunderstanding, Kita and Zee developed a mutual understanding and are now inseparable. They work together to keep each other safe. Kita protects Zee's hive from predators and does her best not to trample the flowers in her paddock for the bees to pollinate. Zee ensures that none of his hive mates try to sting the very allergic Kita. Kita likes to think of her relationship with Zee as incredibly beneficial not only for them but for the planet. After all, without protecting our bees, the future of nature and our planet is at stake!

Barn Name: Amor
Gender: Mare
Height: 13.2hh
Halter Color: Violet
Prompt: Amor's best friend is one of the barn cats employees by her farm. Jackie is a long haired tuxedo she-cat who was abandoned on the farm as a half-grown kitten, and she found shelter in Amor's stall. A very gentle and considerate creature, Amor did her best to not step on her. The next morning the stable hand found her dozing on the ground with the neglected kitten curled up and deep asleep on her back. While the barn owners made sure to get Jackie vetted (she had a severe case of fleas and was pretty malnourished), she found her way back to Amor's stall as soon as she was given a clean bill of health. They have since fallen into an extremely predictable routine: Amor gets turned out in the morning, Jackie goes and keeps the mice at bay. Jackie will find Amor's pasture around lunch time and take a nap in the sun, and they will both be found in Amor's stall by sundown, ready to eat dinner and rest up for the next day's adventures. It is so predictable that the barn staff eventually just moved Jackie's dish to a shelf outside Amor's stall, as it got to the point that Amor would refuse to eat if her friend wasn't there to eat with her.
