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.

Halter Color: Grassy green
Prompt:
In the warmth of springtime sun,
We shed our winter coats and run,
With glee we breathe the fresh, sweet air,
And feel the earth's rebirth everywhere.
We take long walks along the trails,
And let the birds' sweet songs prevail,
As nature wakes up from its sleep,
And fills our hearts with joy so deep.

Height: 14.1 hh
Halter Color: springtime pink and green
Prompt: new life springing from the soil.
Reconstructed swarms are more loyal,
As they buzz through your ears.
Goodbye cruel winter, and with it the fears
Of white becoming permanent or cold wind
Instead, basking in the warm they send.
Swatting flies, mud rolls, precious paddock cat naps
The days flow through the tap
Never ending. the great sun ball will cling
And to the sky, you can hear the chorus, “ITS SPRING!”

Prompt:
As winter cold tries to maintain her grip,
the frozen world begins to drip.
As cold winds fight to freeze,
the bright sun warms the trees.
As solid turns to slush,
the world awakes in a rush.
As new sprigs and sprout emerge,
the fun loving trotter does splurge.
As puddles of mud appear,
the filly jumps in with cheer.
As mycelium spread their spores,
the horse sniffs out mushrooms in scores.

A time for joy and frivolity,
this trotter is mischievous in her jollity.

Prompt: the cold will seep
into a warm hot tea
