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.

It belongs to a man named Morris. These are the people who love Jenn. These are the people she lived with. She can't believe she found their bottle. She's ready to go back home. I'll take her back to them. She deserves to be with them. She's told me they love her a lot.

(for the sake of this story, they live next door to Windfall Ranch. So if I win her, she'll still be under Windfall Ranch)

Prompt: skai noses the bottle, snorting when she recognises the scent. you open the bottle. inside, a picture is scribbled onto a piece of loose newspaper with two distinct art styles:

it's missing the corner, but it seems to say something like "-U AND SKAI" - again, in two different writing styles. realising what it is, skai shrieks excitedly. it's a picture that her and her fillyhood best friend, terra, made when they sealed their friendship pact. in fact, the misspelling is the reason why skai spells her name the way she does. she'd always been addressed as "sky" by her mother, but had never seen it written down and so this was the first time it was ever put to paper.

the little piece of the top missing is a mystery to skai. little does she know, terra had ripped a little chunk off before the two cast it into the ocean together.

Prompt: The bottle actually contains two pieces of paper, one tightly wrapped around the other. Rosella undoes the first layer, reading "Handle with care". She cocks her head, curious to know what could be written on the other. As per instructions, Rosella carefully reveals the second note:

"Dear reader,
Whoever you may be, you are important. You are loved, cherished, and deserve every good thing that come your way.
You are strong and capable, worthy of pursuing anything you want in life. never give up, stranger, for the world is better with you in it.
Much love"

Rosella smiles. Unexpected, but exactly what she needed. You can now see the letter pinned up in her stables, adored every day.
