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: Bluestone
Gender: Mare
Height: 15h
Halter Color: blue
Prompt: Bluestone figured out long ago that being an agreeable and gentle horse is great because then humans let you do all the fun stuff. You're always the first to be taught new things, or introduced to something new, or taken to an event or outing. Unfortunately (or rather, fortunately? she's still on the fence about it) this also means she's always the one of the horses her handlers deem safest for children. Her barn runs a summer camp for local kids, and one of the most popular activities is the "dress-up" competition. The campers are split into 4 teams and given a horse to decorate according to a theme, usually an educational one such as anatomy. The team with the horse that is the most fabulous and fits the theme the best wins. The staff always make sure only safe, washable paints are used. But one year, the stablehand in charge of restocking the paints didn't read the labels closely enough. The red & yellow paints did not wash out all the way. You should see the other guys, Bluestone got off easy.
