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.

WR A Song of Angels

Karoll

Stallion

Prompt:
The show name comes from the fact he looks so angelic and sweet. He also loves music, most notably the singing.
The show name is carol, like a song. However, it’s meant to be written in a masculine or gender neutral way.

Show Name: EVS L'envoi Des Anges
Barn Name: Solstice
Gender: Stallion
Height: 15hh
Prompt: The show name is from a French book by the same name, otherwise known as "Angel's Flight", and Solstice from the Latin words sol ("sun") and sistere ("to stand still"). The winter solstice happens around December 21st for us over in the northern hemisphere. Winter angel is the theme I was going for here, since a lot of people tend to put angels atop their trees for Christmas. c:

Show Name: À Chacun Son Goût
Barn Name: Gabriel
Gender: Stallion
Height: 14hh
Prompt: The show name means "to each his own taste", another version of "one man's trash is another man's treasure", which I picked from the eye colour name. I chose the barn name because of his angel-like accessories :)
