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.

My cat does a lot of really weird things. What's a weird thing this trotter does?

Vora definitely will eat anything she can get in her mouth. she knows what's bad for her, but her favorite is trying to eat her barn mates' ears! they hate it, but will put up with it until she uses her teeth

Answer: Coda's strangest habit is this little "dance" she has to do when leaving her stall. She has to step one foot over the other in front of herself, and then step back and redo it with the other in front of the other. It's such a strange little ritual and we have no clue where she picked it up.

Answer: Leek likes to collect random fruits and vegetables. He never eats them, but will take them and stash them in little crooks and crannies in his stall. The only time anyone finds them is when they start to rot and smell- but that doesn’t stop him from continuing to collect them. He gets really mad when he finds that one was thrown out.
