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 (Metal): Silver
Halter Color (Gemstone): Eye Color
Prompt: Soak absolutely loves getting caught in a summer rainstorm. The kind where it's been hot and sticky all day, and just as the sun starts to set, the clouds roll in and just dump a crazy amount of water. The feeling of walking in warm rain with no one else around except the one he loves is his version of a romantic stroll, especially because there is no way to not burst out in laughter every time you make eye contact with the one you're with. And, when you're so drenched that you just start to feel a chill, Soak knows where to find a nice cozy shelter and snuggle up together to dry off and stay warm.

Prompt: Static loves taking strolls at night, specifically with the one he loves. Preferably on completely clear nights when the temperature is just cool enough to send a shiver down the spine, when the stars shine so brightly that they seem to call out to those in love to stop and stare up at them in awe, when the moon has that soft glow around it that makes you feel like you're the only two in the world.

[Halter Color (Metal): artist's choice
Halter Color (Gemstone): eye color
Prompt: Linden loves nothing more than a quiet stroll on a clear, early spring morning. There's no comparison to the joy of seeing the first budding flowers of spring after a long, harsh winter. He cherishes his quiet, contemplative walks amongst the trees and fluttering pastel petals of tulips, daffodils, hyacinth, and snow drops. Linden greets each flower, bird, and bug that creep, crawl, and fly out of the frozen ground as if they were long lost friends who have finally come home. The sunrise is usually there to greet Linden for his spring walks in the woods, he prefers to go as early as possible to watch as the sky turns from navy to soft pinks and purples, and finally the clear blue of day. There's still a chill in the air in early spring, but Linden doesn't mind waiting patiently for the liquid gold sun rays to seep through the bare tree branches to warm him. Linden cherishes his solitude on these early spring walks, and it would take an incredibly special someone to join him in his happy place.

[Halter Color (Metal): Silver
Halter Color (Gemstone): Light blue
Prompt: Although slightly unconventional, and some may say he's crazy, Starfall enjoys walking on a cold and snowy day. The slight bite of the cold on a chilly morning, hearing the frozen ground crunch under his hooves; he would love nothing more than to take a special someone for a walk on a frosty winter day. Starfall thinks a light snowfall is the most romantic thing ever, watching the snowflakes gently land in their manes and looking up at the beauty of the landscape turning white around them as the sun rises over the horizon.

Prompt: Charming loves nothing more than the surprise of rain on a warm clear summer day. The kind where you are it's starting to get just a bit over heated when out of nowhere rain starts to fall, it's not cold rain but it does cool your skin. The sky remains cloudless and the sun continues to shine but it makes you smile at just how simple surprises like a little rainfall can make an already perfect day better.

Prompt: in the pouring rain of course! there is a reason why there are so many romantic songs and movies about kissing and dancing in the rain with your loved one... whether it's confessing your love in a rainstorm or getting the overwhelming desire to kiss your partner when you're both looking like wet dogs, the romantic aspect of rain must have some truth to it, and this trotter wants to experience it with his soulmate too. maybe life is all about being able to see the beauty (this trotter's love) in unconventional situations (rain).

[Halter Color (Metal): Rose gold
Halter Color (Gemstone): Artist’s choice
Prompt:

Zephyr loves nothing more than to take his date out on a windy day. Any time of day is fine with him. However, if he could choose, a late morning stroll would be a good time. It’s not very hot and with the strong wind blowing, it helps to keep them cool. The wind brings about a sense of relief and fresh air which is always well loved when Zephyr goes on strolls. If the stroll gets boring, they could also fly a kite. Another potential date idea!

[Halter Color (Metal): Gold
Halter Color (Gemstone): Dark Orange
Prompt: Herbst loves every season. He loves the blowing of the wind, he loves the rain on his face. He loves to see the spring bring life back to the brown, muddy ground but the most he loves to take a stroll through a late autumn forest. Nothing is more beautiful then to feel the crips air and hot sun on your face and smell the start of the decay of the leaves. It is truly and all about the smell for him, but of course the beautiful shift in leaves colour adds on top!
