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.

This trotter has a thing for stripes. Link me an image of what this trotter's favorite animal with stripes is.

Prompt:

Nyx absolutely loves the loud colourful stripes of a mantis shrimp (various types in various colours!), she nickers with excitement whenever she’s shown an image of one and it seems she loves the colours being the total opposite of her dark and lack of coloured stripes. Her second favourite set of stripes are on the Okapi, three simple colours, very much like Nyx herself 💕

This trotter mare would love erythristic tigers, and any tiger really, but she'd love the golden stripes of the golden tabby tigers, as they'd remind her of her own. She'd align with the valiance and strength of these big cats, but think they're also very cute.
