Intro
The Romanian Trotter or the Trapas Romanesc was developed in Muntenia in Romania as a result of the growing trotting industry.
Origins
Breeding of the Romanian Trotter began late in the 19th century when American, French & Russian trotters were imported for the sport. These animals were crossed with local Nonius & Furioso mares. Today this is a rare breed.
