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.

Messy leopard appaloosa... dying inside.
Does this Trotter prefer a nice clean coat, or do they like to inconvenience their owner with a roll through the mud?

Height: 14.2 hh
Halter Color: Something like the golden part of the coat or related to the caramel popcorn name please.
Prompt: Tifa absolutely Loves baths! Getting all clean and sparkly. She loves when they take their time getting every bit off her... because then there's plenty of mud to play in afterwards.

Halter Color: #c98740
Prompt: Sandy is a very particular mare, she prefers to be spotless clean and always feels her best after a nice bath and hoof trim, if she finds even the tiniest speck of dirt on her coat, she searches for one of the handlers of the ranch to remove it promptly, same goes for her mane, even the tiniest of tangles and she's standing tall, prim and proper and awaiting a thorough combing.

Height: 15hh
Halter Color: light turquoise please!
Prompt: Platinum is infatuated with the bay and black horses she sees across her paddock, mesmerised by their beauty! She takes it upon herself to look more like them any chance she could get, she loved seeing how her coat changed shades and texture depending on what material she rolled in - mud, sand, dry dirt, a mixture of all! Platinum, without a doubt, prefers to apply a little creative touch to her coat.. regardless of how inconvenient that is for the owners <3

Halter Color: steel blue
Prompt: Carnation loves the mud!! With her already bespeckled coat, she believes the mud adds more depth and difference to her coat. The varying shades of mud, along with the ever-changing nature of how much mud is on her coat and where, makes her feel new and different every day. Most horses in the barn still haven’t figured out which spots are hers and which spots are a byproduct of the ground, and Carnation loves keeping them intrigued.

Height: 13hh
Halter Color: Light Pink
Prompt: Champagne has never been one for mud. When she was a rambunctious foal she tried it but hated the way the mud dried into her coat and mane. Now if she even gets a speck of mud or dirt on her she will act very dramatic until someone gets it off or washes her.

Halter Color: something matchy!
Prompt: kvasir can never make up his mind. he's always been known for being wishy-washy—what to eat, what to do—his appearance is no different. some days, he'll flip out if so much as a single speck of dirt lands on him, while other days he'll be so covered in mud he's unrecognizable. it really depends on the day... just pray that he's not feeling particularly mischievous on top of one of his muddy moods, or else you may end up unwittingly taking a mud bath too!
