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.
Squeaking this one out at the wire! My goal was to do one adopt with each new marking, and having no AC still and a surprise visit from a childhood friend almost derailed that.
Argh! Most of the pirates seem to have finally fled, minus a handful of stragglers that just don’t seem to get the message that they should leave. Since there really isn’t anyone left to deal with, you notice lots of snacks left lying around. Find me (a CS-appropriate and properly credited) image of a pirate-themed dessert, snack, or really any dish of your choosing! Does not have to be directly pirate themed, for example can be skulls or anything else that fits a pirate motif.
