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: I feel that most personalities can be best conveyed in limerick form

There once was a horse o so bubbly
Whose virtues topped their faults almost doubly
They could jump and piaffe
But at clippers would scoff
And so lived out their life rather stubbly

Show Name: RRS Tiny Bubbles
Barn Name: Bub
Gender: Stallion
Height: 11.3 hh
Halter Color: Something wine-related
Prompt: The absolute sweetest, most loving horse on the farm... and unfortunately the most clumsy, too. He's got four left hooves and a can-do attitude, and he unwittingly makes it everyone's problem. If someone's doing something around the barn, you can bet Bub's gonna be right there in the thick of it doing his best to help them out. His 'help' just tends to cause more problems than it fixes. Hand him a paint can to carry, he'll stumble and knock the lid off. Send him out to gather up the yearlings, he'll somehow end up in the pond along with half of his charges. He's so darn earnest about it it's hard to hold a grudge, even when he bungles things for the millionth time, and he's always appropriately chagrined when he makes yet another mess for others to clean up. The only time he can be trusted to watch himself is, oddly enough, when he's got a new rider in the saddle. Then he moves so carefully you'd think he was carrying a priceless treasure on his back.

Prompt: Fizz is usually quite sweet. However, he does have a habit of bottling up his emotions until the pressure builds and...he pops! Especially as a colt he was known for his explosive outbursts. Fizz is self-aware though and is working on letting the frustrations out a bit at a time rather than all at once.
