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.

I couldn't decide what to do for my next couple of trotters, so I decided... why not make you guys decide? 8D With that in mind, I've drawn up a very simple base trotter. You guys get to decide the rest of how they look!

To win this trotter, tell me at least one interesting thing you've done while at Camp Nightwing. How you do this is completely up to you. You can write a short story or poem, draw a picture traditionally or digitally, assemble a playlist, put together a moodboard, make an arts and crafts project... anything goes! I'm interested in the effort you put into your entry, not how perfect your entry turns out. As usual, my favorite entry wins!

The winner will be able to choose...
- Up to 2 standard trotter markings
- Up to 2 Halloween markings
- Up to 1 rare marking in any category, excepting other seasonal markings
- The trotter's flame + furnace colors
- And any non-gene markings, like socks and blazes.

I blame you for the very silly little happy-dance I did upon seeing this entry. That bracelet is absolutely adorable, I couldn't not pick it as the winner! I've got Horror all finished up for you. :3

HMs to Queen Viviane and kijauni! I loved both of your pumpkins.
