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 and Russian trotters were imported for the sport. These animals were crossed with local Nonius and Furioso mares. Today this is a rare breed.
