[Taxidea]

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.

Another nothin' but black honse for ya'll. This one has the markings I didn't squeeze into my previous one. To win this raffle trotter, name it after something to do with the eye color!

Barn Name: Yukon
Gender: stallion
Height:15hh
Halter Color: gold and silver
Space to explain the name (if needed): Well, silver and gold can be in formed into bars, coins, or found nuggets. Yukon is named from "yukon gold" which is what the gold was called from the Klondike Gold Rush(in the Yukon territory of Canada) in the 1890's. Yukon (Yukon Cornelius) is also the name of the prospector in the 1964 Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer movie(my favorite Christmas movie) and he was crazy about finding gold and then silver.
