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.

Looks like this trotter may have sniffed one too many flowers! Show me their favorite flower and tell me why it's their favorite!

Gender: Mare
Height: 14hh
Halter Color: Artist's choice
Prompt: Daisy is aptly named, because her favourite flower is the common daisy. They remind her of the spring she was born. They grew abundantly in the paddock she and her mother were in. (This is where her mother got her name!) Every spring they return, and bring with them more babies. She's been known to gather up a mouthful and place them neatly on stall doors.

Halter Color: surprise me
Prompt:
These flowers, because they remind her owners of her fiery orange coat. they stand out in the garden just like this range trotter. These flowers are the ones under the fill of the hunter jumps that Kirabo also despises, shes not a jumper, making her dislike these flowers. However, she soon learned to love them again, appreciating them as fill without actually having to jump them. Instead, she likes to eat them when her rider has her stopped near said jump. They taste yummy and that's why their her favorite.

Prompt: Lily of the Valley are Io's favourite flowers because of the mythology behind them. More specifically the greek mythology that involves their creation. The story of Apollo creating the flower specifically for his nymphs' to have something soft and beautiful to walk upon, has always been a true romance to her and the thought of having someone care so much for her as too make something soft for her to walk upon just makes her hopeless romantic heart sing.

Azaleas are his favorite flower because they symbolize specific emotions or events. As someone who values his memories very much, and is very in tune with his emotions, he thinks this is really cool. Another thing Azaleas symbolize is abundance, and they are given as gifts to express that you want good things to come to the recipient. This is something else he likes, since he wants everyone to be happy. Often, he will go and search for Azaleas and then present them to his friends and owner in hopes of making them smile. Memory's favorite color of Azaleas is yellow, but he likes all other Azaleas as well!

Height: 12.2hh
Halter Color: eye color
Prompt: It may be an unusual favorite flower, but Kumquat loves skunk cabbage! What it lacks in aesthetic beauty, it makes up for with cool science facts and that in many places it's the first plant to grow in the spring. Skunk cabbage is thermogenetic, so it produces its own heat, enough to melt through the snow. It produces a foul smell (described as a mix of garlic, onions, and decaying flesh0 that attracts pollinators, and once it sprouts the leaves of the plant are edible! x

Prompt: The gladiolus!

One of the hardier plants (at least in my experience!), these tall beauties bloom after all of the other spring and summer flowers are long gone or withering away, from late summer to fall. The perfect backdrop to any garden! They come in a wide variety of colors, either solids or two-tones (my favorite!). Thanks to the helpful little bees, they'll come back every year with a few extra bulbs emerging!

Pollen loves butterfly pea flowers! The blue of the flowers stand out against his orange coat and complement it nicely, and the flowers also make for a nice mildly sweet snack.
