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.

Prompt:
Maize used to be very self conscious. Once moving to her new barn though, she eventually realized there was no reason be self conscious here. Everyone loved her for her, and her quirky personality. She slowly began to open up to staff and other horses/animals, making a few friends. One of the horses kind enough to show her around and get her acquainted was Eros. He was very patient with which was crucial for her. He put no pressure on her to be social, so in turn she had her time to grow and get used to everyone. And now? She's living happily, living her best life with her new best friends.

Prompt: Dapple was an overworked horse since birth at a barn that only cared for money and fame. Dapple soon became ill and the barn no longer wanted to pay the expense to help her in even the slightest. Dapple now lives safely with her new owners.

Prompt: Emma was a little boy's first pony! She taught him balance, discipline, and love. Every day when he got home from school he would run to the barn to spend time with his best friend. Some days they would spend hours together in the pasture; Emma would graze and he would read to her. Eventually, the boy grew and when it was time for him to go off to study in college, he sought a home where the mare would have not only a human best friend, but other equines to socialize with!
