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.
Decided to do something a little different with this bean. >83 As you can see, they're totally white, and their fins don't have any color just yet. That's because you get to decide what their fins look like, and what markings make them white.
This trotter will be a raffle. To enter, link a pride flag for their fins, pick what coat is underneath that white, and up to four white markings that could make them solid white! This could be just dominant white, maximum sabino plus tobiano, maximum tovero, or whatever other combination you can think up. All white markings of rare rarity and below are allowed. I'm just excited to see what you guys can come up with!
