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: TT Just Takes a Quarter
Barn Name: Winner
Gender: Stallion
Height: 14hh
Halter Color: Keep!
Prompt: Winner basically lives at the local arcade. He especially loves the classic games like Pacman, Donkey Kong, and Space Invaders, but also gets down with skee ball and pinball. And he's happy to try every new game that comes in -- management pretty much relies on him to tell them if a game is worth keeping around. Even if the arcade isn't Winner's "official" home, everyone there feels like family, so it's home to him!

Show Name: ARR How's the Weather Up There?
Barn Name: Giraffe
Gender: Stallion
Height: 16hh
Halter Color: Based off tack
Prompt: Before being sold to Amethyst Ridge, Giraffe was born on a Swedish farm right on the northern coast. He could play in his natal pasture and watch the waves crash on the frigid sand, the borealis dancing over him in the darkest hours of the night. He adored the snow and the wind and the ocean - except he wasn't suited for it. His coat wasn't thick enough, and just to keep his temperature stable he was always overburdened in blankets and boots that hindered his natural gaits, so for his own health and safety, he was sold to warmer temperatures. But he still misses his frozen shores, and hopes to one day visit and race the waves like he once dreamed of.

Show Name: Life’s Freedom
Barn Name: Daredevil
Gender: Stallion
Height: 15hh
Halter Color: Artist’s choice
Prompt:

Daredevil lives in the dried grassy plains of the Serengeti. How he got there in the first place? He was a traveller of sorts. He spent most of his youth traversing harsh terrains of all kind and found himself in Africa. He was definitely a fish out of water at first but overtime, he had learned to live there.
His coat helped him to blend in the dried tall grass and he had learned to be cautious and alert. He had always thought of leaving to travel again but there’s no place quite like the Serengeti that gets the heart going.
