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.

Fia's favorite deep sea creature is an orca. They can go pretty far down. They have to surface, of course. They can go pretty far down, though. She likes them because they're cool looking. Also, the females lead the pod. The females are quite important. she really likes that about them.

Gender: stallion
Height: 13hh
Halter Color: black
Prompt:
Riptide has always had a fascination for the unknow or creepy but lacks the courage to actually adventure out. So he sticks to learning and reading about the creatures of the deep. His favourite to date would have be the Frilled Shark. A creature the predates back to the prehistoric era, it looks as old as it sounds. With looks that would scare most, Riptide curiosity piques more than most.

Prompt:

Strawberry’s favorite deep sea creature is the cock-eyed squid, formally Histioteuthis heteropsis! One of this species’ eyes is at least double in size when compared to the other! It uses its large eye to hunt for food in the murky depths, and the smaller eye to keep look out for predators looking for their next meal. Also, the large eye fluoresces, which looks cool and helps it pick out shadows of potential prey in such deep waters.
