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: making costumes! I don't do it often because I don't always have a reason but I absolutely love it! I have kind of an obsession with fabrics and i love designing dresses! I have won contests with my costumes I have made as well which is nice to know that all those hours of hard work has payed off and that someone else likes what you've made.
I have also made many costumes for my model horses which is challenging in such a small scale but i love making them!

Prompt: While it may be a sport technically my favorite hobby is horseback riding. I just love being on the back of a horse with the wind in my hair. It just makes me feel free and like i finally belong.

Prompt: Hiking and backcountry backpacking. Nothing is more exciting than hiking 10 miles out into a beautiful remote area and then sitting down to eat dinner in a stunning landscape. I love birdwatching, so I always look for birds while on the trail. Last time I went out backpacking, I hiked about 20 miles over three days, ate while in the company of a gorgeous waterfall, and saw so many cool birds. I also got to spend it with my dog, who is the best hiking companion a girl could ask for. Hiking? I do that all the time, I try to get out at least once a week, if not for my sanity then for my friends. I get antsy and bullish otherwise.

Prompt: Singing!!! :D :D eeee it's a hobby for now but maybe someday?? I'll pursue it as a career or something! I LOVE singing, I have ever since I was a kid. I'd always sing for talent shows and stuff. I'd also try to get everyone else singing along with me haha I have no idea if it was annoying or cute XDD It's just the best feeling in the world when everything melts away and it's you and the music and you're so caught up in it you're not worrying about anything. just having fun!! I'd share that feeling with everyone if I could <333

Prompt: as of right now, one of my favorite hobbies is playing the clarinet! i've been playing for around six years now, and i absolutely love it. back when i first started, the only reason i began in the first place was because i hated piano and wanted to stop having lessons, but the only way to convince my parents to do so was i said i'd learn clarinet, lol. in terms of actually playing the instrument, low notes sound and feel good to play because you cover up a lot of keys and feel the vibrations. high notes are my favorite though because they're easier to hear over other instruments + they sound really pretty when you play them in tune! i'm in band right now, and this was my first year as section leader. it's really fun for me to teach the smaller clarinets how to play right notes and rhythms if they need any help. i'm also in marching band and march with my clarinet, which i actually really love doing. memorizing spots on a football field to march to while also playing memorized music at the same time is a lot of work, but the end result is always so cool.

Prompt: Hiking and gardening! Any excuse to get outside and get dirty! I love spending time outside accompanied by my dog. Hiking- Getting to enjoy the weather, the wind, seeing cool critters, the satisfaction of using my body, watching my dog enjoy the world, especially low popular hikes where I can feel alone in the world (in a good way), and getting to appreciate everything around me.
Gardening- more hands on, something really satisfying about watching something come to life because of your care. You sustain the earth and it sustains you (was that super corny XD)

Prompt: It may not be the most glamourous hobby, but I collect comic books. Years ago, I was in a used book store and found some comics of Robin and some others of a young Flash (actually it was Impulse, but I'll save my comic lectures..). It opened a world to me that was a fun escape and led me on adventures. That time in my life seems full of light.
