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.

A norwegian creature from my area that resides in different waters like rivers, lakes, and seas! It is malicious and seeks to lure people into the water, but you can protect yourself against it by mentioning it by name. It's especially dangerous after sunset

Prompt: The Nuckelavee is a sea-demon from Scottish mythology. It's considered the nastiest of all Scotland's demons, capable of withering crops, sickening livestock, starting epidemics, and causing droughts with its breath. No one knows what the nuckelavee looks like when in its ocean home, but on land it takes the form of a equid with no visible skin and a single, oversized eye. Some legends say the nuckelavee more closely resembles a centaur, albeit with two heads: one equine, one human. (Art by Artem Demura.)

Prompt: Here's a silly looking dude, the Sea Bishop! There really isn't much lore about this creature, but it was reported in the 16th century. According to legend, it was taken to the King of Poland, who wished to keep it. It was also shown to a group of Catholic bishops, to whom the bishop-fish gestured, appealing to be released. They granted its wish, at which point it made the sign of the cross and disappeared into the sea. Another was supposedly captured in the ocean near Germany in 1531. It refused to eat and died after three days. It was described and pictured in the fourth volume of Conrad Gesner's famous Historiae animalium, published in 1551 – 58 and 1587. Cryptozoologist Bernard Heuvelmans believed the report was based on the discovery of a large mutilated Grimaldi scaled squid
