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.

Name Explanation: so for fearless soul, I got wander and beyond the skyline I got beyond the rift(also influenced by the eye color). And her barn name- Arien, means Enchanted. I feel like she just would wander about without any fear, just curiosity and wonder almost like in a sort of trance.

[Pandora!]

Username: Pandora!
Show Name: OHS Embrace The Light Beyond Fear
Barn Name: Trygve
Adult Halter: artist's choice
Name Explanation: I did a little Googling about the meaning of the parent's barn names, and found out that Fáfnir roughly translates from Old Norse to "the embracer," and Elaine is a French name meaning "ray of light/shining light." I was also inspired by the actual Germanic tale of Fáfnir, of a son whose greed leads him to kill his father to possess his treasure, which in turn causes Fáfnir to change into a wicked dragon. More familial betrayal ensues, so I wanted this trotter son of Fáfnir to be the foil to his father's crimes. The show name is a combination of the parent's show names plus the literal meanings behind their barn names, and the foal barn name Trygve means "true, or trustworthy."

Show Name: NVR Behind The Veil
Barn Name: Shimmer
Adult Halter: Black
Name Explanation:
The show name is a sort of combo of 'beyond the skyline' and the themes of 'souls' in relation to the afterlife. Behind the veil is an idiom to mean an inexplicable or concealed place, calling to the mysterious state of existence after death. The barn name is a relation to Elaine - a name with french origins which means 'shining light'.

Username: odi
Show Name: ODI The Icarus Effect
Barn Name: Ariadne
Adult Halter: sunset orange
Name Explanation: "fearless soul" and "beyond the skyline" made me think of the legend of icarus, the boy who flew too close to the sun. the legend says that, in an attempt to flee prison with his, icarus, accompanied by his father, flies over the ocean with wings made of feathers and beeswax. his father tells him not to fly too low, for the dampness from the ocean could wet the feathers, but also not to fly too high, for the heat from the sun could melt the beeswax. overcome by the thrill of flight, a seemingly naïve icarus flies higher and higher and the wings melt, causing him to plummet to the waters below and drown. in the moment, he was a fearless soul who attempted to glide beyond the skyline. therefore, i decided on the icarus effect as a show name and ariadne as a barn name, as ariadne was another character in the legend.
