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: Strange
Gender: Mare
Height: 15.2hh
Halter Color: Artist's choice
Prompt: Strange is a Leo but doesn't believe in it all. She finds it doesn't fit her at all -- she's very shy and introverted, and has very negative self image.

Gender: Mare
Height: 15.1 hh
Halter Color: Eyes
Prompt: Vera is a taurus. She does believe in zodiacs, at least partially. Hers just fits her too much to be entirely coincidence. Plus, all of her friends strongly partake in witchcraft and believe in zodiacs.

Halter Color: eye color
Prompt: Thistle does not believe in the zodiac. Its ridiculous to think the distant stars could be controlling his every choice, ridiculous! But... his personality traits line up with that of a Taurus too well sometimes... He's stubborn and obstinate, but also dependable and kind. But those are just coincidences, or so he says.

Barn Name: Ram
Gender: Stallion
Height: 15hh
Halter Color: Blue/White Clouds
Prompt: Ram has always been 'a little too much' for his friends and family to handle, putting 200% of himself into any task in front of him. He's passionate, excitable, blunt, impatient, courageous, and at a constant state of high energy. It's no surprise that he aligns perfectly with his zodiac sign - an aries. Though he doesnt put too much thought into things like that, he definitely believes he is a perfect shining example of what an aries might be, and even finds some sense of community in it when everyone around him is running on empty from following along with his chaotic antics.
