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.

To win this trotter, show me a picture of their favorite heavenly body, planet, constellation, or anything space related and say briefly why it's their favorite. Please properly credit images used!

Prompt: The Pillars of Creation! Space is often thought of as empty blackness, but the Pillars demonstrate that it's anything but. On top of that, the Pillars are where stars are born. James thinks there's something beautiful about stars being born in the midst of so much color and beauty. (And yes, James is totally nicknamed that in honor of the James Webb space telescope.)

Prompt: Quasar! A quasar is a supermassive black hole with discs of gas escaping from it. The image attached is of a distant quasar with is 2-3 billion times bigger than our Sun. Stella loves quasars because of the sheer mass and greatness that they imply. The idea of a supermassive black hole is so surreal to Stellar that he can't help but just be in awe of them.

Pluto

Orb loves Pluto,, it’s different to many other planets, stars and other things that lay in the sky, it use to be classified as a minor planet, but now many are saying it is a star, it’s almost like Pluto doesn’t belong but that’s what draws orb to it, it’s different and unique just like him in life.
