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.

Halter Gem Color: Eye color
Prompt: This is dating myself a bit, but the feel, scent, and sound of opening one of these plastic, Disney VHS cases (Source). The whole experience of going to Blockbuster or Hollywood Video, picking out a movie that you were only going to be able to watch for a week, the drive home where you held the case like it was worth millions, and then getting home and gently opening the plastic to reveal a hopefully rewound VHS that you would watch immediately is sooooo vivid to me! They make such a distinct popping sound when you get them open, it's synonymous in my mind with childhood joy and magic.

It absolutely has to be the Scholastic Book Fair for me. I can't remember being able to actually get anything when they came around my elementary school but we all treated it like a holiday, being allowed to get out of school early to roam around the pop-up stands set up in the library, excitedly talking with my friends about new book releases from our favorite series and the novelty shaped erasers. Sometimes even now when I crack open a new book it reminds me of back then.

Prompt:
I lived on a sailboat as a child, and the sounds of a marina at night always take me right back. The slow lap of water against the hull, the clink and twang of the rigging overhead, wooden masts and docks creaking in time with the waves... there's something a little bit magical about it. Makes for some truly amazing sleep, believe it or not! Here's a picture too, since this was meant to be a visual prompt! (Credit is over here!)
