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: My heart will always and forever have a place for the Brittany. I grew up always having Brittanys (and Irish setters!) in my family and they have such a special place in my life. They are sweet, very trainable, gentle-natured medium size spaniels that are wonderful companions. I could write a novel about all of the silly, quirky, devoted Brittanys I've had the pleasure to own. x

Prompt: Dogs generally don't like me very much; definitely an exotic-critter kind of guy through and through. But one breed of puppo that I have never had a bad interaction with is english mastiffs. I don't know if they're just too confident to be made nervous by my shaky seizy anxiety riddled body (the presumed culprit of making new doggos nervous around me), or if they're just incapable of rolling bad thoughts (or thoughts in general) around in those giant meat lugs they call heads. But I have adored every mastiff I've ever gotten a chance to meet, and they have been the sweetest and most loyal friends in return <3

Halter Color: Eye color, please!
Prompt: Pandora and I share the same favorite breed, so I’ll go with my second choice! :D
The Koolie dog, a native to Australia, is a tall goofy herding dog! I just love them, they’re so smart but incredible with families and single people alike! Great for an active companion, 15/10 would recommend if you are an active person. Want kids, but need someone to help herd them outta the house? Koolies are a great option for less shedding or matting than Australian Shepherds or Collies! I’m kidding, sort of. c;

Halter Color: Perhaps like the eye color, or maybe more orange? (artist choice on detail)
Prompt:

(I actually love them all to an extant (I do have preferences..), but lean towards the hound group. My currant dog is a mini dapple dachshund so that one wins out this time. :3 )
