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.
You've managed to sneak your way onto the pirate ship, cleverly disguised and have blended yourself in with the rest of the crew. Everything was going according to plan, you were to begin your rescue attempt at nightfall when the excitement from a successful round-up had died down. Spending most of the night undetected, it wasn't until you'd bumped into Old Long Johnson (one of the larger, burlier men on the ship) and he eyed you skeptically before speaking in a low, gruff voice; "What's that? Yer not a familiar face... who are ye?"
Crap. Time for a distraction.
Pirates like songs, right?!
Full of determination and harrowing fear of being found out, you heartily laugh and begin bellowing out a shanty!
Confused, and maybe a little drunk, Johnson looks around at his fellow crewmates as they eagerly join you...
Which song did you sing?
