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: Jasper
Gender: Stallion
Height: 14.2hh
Halter Color: same as eyes w/ white flecks
Prompt: Jasper remembered the crunch of tawny leaves under his hooves. Now, it was the crunch of the angelic-like snow, something that soothed him despite the freezing temperatures. It makes him feel loving towards what he had, has, and what spring will bring next year. That is his peace of mind, the crunch of the snow, that will forever hold him tall against the shrewd comments of others and boost him in the eyes of the ones who refuse to judge him for what he has become, a gentle stallion refusing to do badly on purpose.

When Jasper is to pass on, like his family, his mother, and his father... he wishes to peacefully pass spread out across the chill of a promising winter, even if there are those who stare down at him, teary-eyed. He will forever rest there. Jasper will remain there, a friendly spirit to all who need him.

Prompt: Winter? Clue loves winter! More specifically she loves the snow. She enjoys how the snow crunches under her hooves and how snowflakes are all unique. She also enjoys the taste of snow, even though it literally tastes like water. Clue always rolls around in the snow when it falls. When you see her in the winter, she’ll have snow all over her almost impossible to identify her. (67 words)

Show Name: Stronger Than Whiskey
Barn Name: Whiskey
Gender: Mare
Height: 14.3hh
Halter Color: Artist's choice!
Prompt: Whiskey's favorite thing about winter is... no more work! We're a very outdoorsy location and we don't have an indoor riding ring, and as it turns out, no one really wants to ride during the winter here. We don't blame them, we're off the coast of North Carolina and it can get pretty frigid and windy out here during the winter with plenty of bad storms. So whenever summer camp lets out for the season, the children and counselors leaving is always Whiskey's cue that it's time to relax and cut loose. She seems a lot happier without the stress that comes with the work season, though she's content to perform her duties, she's a lot more energetic, bouncy, youthful and active during the winter.
