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.

Continuing the theme of 'weird sea critters turned into trotters', this trotter is based on a eagle ray!

Prompt:
Gidget's favourite bird is the Black Heron because of it's cute hunting technique, where it uses it's wings to trick the fish into thinking it is night time so they come out of hiding and then it strikes.

Prompt: Ray's favourite fish is the Cyanogaster. Ray is very interested in anatomy, so he is intrigued by this special see-through fish - they're basically like living models that can be studied! Plus, he'll tell yout that the little pop of colour they have makes them even more beautiful. They're the coolest around in his eyes! (image + image source/fish description)

The Sri Lankan Frogmouth.
Mundane loves how they look. Just tiny birds that somewhat resemble a middle-aged man that is just mildly disappointed at what you’ve done but don’t say anything - just judging you.
