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.

Even if they can't really participate in the same capacity as a human could,
which activity from this event do you think they'd most enjoy, and why?

Prompt: spinne would absolutely love a visit at the tarot tent! he is fascinated with the idea of getting his future or destiny told and is sometimes a little lost with how to handle certain diffculties, so he'd look for assistance in the hands of an experienced tarot reader who can tell him how to approach an issue or what life has to offer next for him with the help of a good set of tarot cards. unfortunately, spinne is not allowed inside of the tent, but he's often found lurking around in safe distance to try and catch every word the tarot reader tells whoever human is currently seeking the cards' guidance. hopefully the tarot reader will soon notice and get out of the tent to read spinne his cards!

Username: SeidenKaczka
Show Name: PP Lightning Rod
Barn Name: Rod
Gender: female
Height: 14.8hh
Halter Color: flame colour
Prompt: Rod would love the Ghoul Run. She wouldn't be afraid of the ghouls, as she is a mystic creature herself and can easily use her infernal furnace to fend off a few ghosts, but she loves anything akin to a race. She is very fast, much faster than most of her kin, and she loves to show it off. Then, when the ghouls appear and scare off everyone, not only she would enjoy the screams of fear and erratic panic of the normal humans and horses around her, but she would love to just run as fast as she could to pass in front of everyone, and then just make fun of the slower runners, telling them that they're going to be eaten alive by the ghouls, before speeding away to disappear in the woods.

Show Name: OHS Someone's At The Door
Barn Name: Hattie
Gender: Mare
Height: 13.2hh
Halter Color: flame colors
Prompt: Hattie wants to go in the Inn! All her life she's wondered what the big deal about being inside was, why it was such a big deal to humans while all the rest of the creatures of the earth just kicked it outside. At first she was aggressively ambivalent about it, what did she care?! Who even wants to be inside anyways, it's totally dumb and not as cool and fun as running around in the woods and she definitely didn't care AT ALL thanks for asking. After a while, curiosity began to naw on her life a dog with a bone and she just couldn't help but to creep to the edge of the woods and observe the humans coming in and out of the stately Inn at the heart of the island.

As night fell, Hattie would creep closer, watching as lights came on and people milled about to socialize, dine, and relax together. Hattie watched as people warmed their weary bones by the fire, partaking in succulent meals and libations. Hattie wants so desperately to be a part of it all, to shed her spectral equine form and have some lively company. Often Hattie will give the staff and guests alike a hair-raising scare, as she's known to knock on the doors of the Inn, only to turn and flee into the night once the door was opened as she was too embarressed to ever admit how much she wants to be in the Inn!

Show Name: Who's Under That Mask
Barn Name: Costume
Gender: Mare
Height: 13.3hh
Halter Color: Matching Flames
Prompt:
Costume has always wanted to go trick or treating. She's used to spooking people with her glowing flames as they run around gathering goodies but in truth, she wants to join in. She's always had a sweet tooth and has been able to sneak a few pieces of candy here and there. She even tried stealing a pillowcase from a drying line and walked around with it but no one realized what she wanted. But the part Costume most wants to try is dressing up! Each year she sees all the wonderful costumes the humans create and wear. She wishes someone would make one for her. It must be so fun to pretend to be something else for a night! Plus, she knows she could rock many looks. Maybe this year she'll try grabbing a bedsheet or someone's hat.

Gender: Mare
Height: 15hh
Halter Color: Match eyes
Prompt: Why Ghoul Run of course! What better way to let herself go wild than running from those pesky Ghouls. She can run as fast as she wants and nobody would be able to tell her no or make her slow down. Darcy adores the idea of having such freedom, to let the wind fill her sails and just run
