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: oh man, i have so many pets. i have fish, shrimp, isopods, a gecko, and a cat! I unfortunately can't put them all in one pic, so heres my favorite one of my fish, Iskaffe, my cat Aneshka, and my gecko Mynte

Aneshka always looks like you just woke her up from a nap, but shes the sweetest cat i know - and Iskaffe, despite being a betta, who are known for being very aggressive, is actually really calm and only occasionally decides to snack on a poor shrimp or chase one of my other fish around. most of the time he just hangs out with them

Prompt: I think many people are familiar with my precious dork of a cat son Sizzleboy Babyman McGrillmaster. He is the light of my life, and also the sole reason the crime rate in my home has skyrocketed. Please enjoy this pic of Sizz biting his own tail because he's a goofy goober. One day I hope to have a small farm of my own, complete with ducks, goats, and I'm sure all manor of rescue pups and kitties!

Prompt: I have a flock of chickens! They're so much fun, and each have unique personalities. Some like to follow me around the yard, some like to jump in my lap, and others prefer to keep their distance and do their own thing. They also have unique calls that they use for humans vs each other, which is super cool to listen to! Many of the chickens are named after movie characters.

Prompt:
I have a lovely Shetland Sheepdog named Ace. He turns 11 this year. He’s my first dog and honestly he’s the complete opposite of how I pictured having a dog to be. I always thought they’d be super clingy and all in your bubble and would sleep with you. Yeahhhhhh, Ace is an old man stuck in a dog’s body. Doesn’t really like to cuddle or sleep in my bed for any longer than 10 minutes because it’s hot and he’s got his thicc double coat. He will talk back to you if you scold him. He knows when you’re talking about him and he’ll give you a certain look.
But overall, I would still die for him bc he’s got a sweet smile.
Look at him

If I could choose to have any pet, I would love a ball python or tarantula. Exotic pets are illegal in my country because our country is small and the government is afraid that people may release/abandon them and it will mess up our local ecosystem which is a valid fear. It is unfortunate because the closest I’ve ever seen them are in zoos and you can’t even hold or touch one. I would love to carry and feel a snake or spider in my hands one day. I think they’re amazing creatures.
