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.

For this Trotter, tell me a story about their first time in the fall season or draw a picture of it! No word/art limit.

Prompt: https://sta.sh/0hjxmk2gscf when Sugar was a filly, she encountered fall for the first time. She adored the color changing of the leaves and the longer nights made for stargazing.

Barn Name: Polly
Gender: Mare
Height: 13.2hh
Halter Color: Something based on leaves
Prompt: Polly was just a small filly when her first autumn came. She had no idea about the seasons, since she was born in the beginning of summer. It started with a few leaves, but more and more kept falling. When she woke up after a good, long sleep, the floor was covered with leaves. She was spooked and ran off. Her mother found her very soon; Polly was hiding in the dog house. The dog was grumpy, but let her be. So there she was, stuffed inside the dog house. Her butt and tail sticking out, her legs curled in, her nose close to her chest. It was a hilarious sight.
Ofcourse her mother get her out and explained her all about the seasons. After that talk, she jumped straight into a pile of leaves. Now fall is her favorite season of the year, she loves the colors. She often imagines her spots being leaves.


By me (I suck at horses so much)
It's a fast drawing, normally I can do better, but it's tough to find inspiration these days x.x

Barn Name: Gazer
Gender: Mare
Height: 14.2hh
Halter Color: Fall leaves (or just splashes of green/yellow/orange/red, ty)
Prompt: Gazer was a bit of a scaredy-cat when it came to new experiences. She stuck close to her mother and rarely played with the other foals. Loud noises or barn animals that got too close always sent her running back to mom. After several weeks Gazer still hadn't outgrown her fear, so staff decided to introduce a friend to her, to help her feel comfortable and curious about the world. This friend was a brown female goat named Cocoa and has helped many horses feel more relaxed in the barn or pasture on site. After the two got acclimated to each other, Gazer and Cocoa were inseparable, always following the other around and even sleeping together in the barn.
One crisp fall morning, a large paper bag was stuffed full of leaves picked up around the farmhouse. Cocoa slipped the stall latch and she and Gazer began playing with the bag, jumping over it, on it...Cocoa even started eating it at one point. This caused the leaves to start falling out and soon there was a large pile just perfect for playing in. It was a sight to behold. Gazer, who was once afraid of the wind chasing her, is now the one chasing the wind. Even though the pair of friends were making a huge mess to clean up, the stable hands were all happy to see it, as it meant that Gazer had finally beaten her fear of the unknown with curiosity.
