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.

Born March 27th 1845 in a town named Lennep, Prussia, Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen earned his
undergraduate degree at the ETH Zurich university and received his doctorate in physics
from the University of Zurich. He worked at universities in Strasbourg, Giessen, and Würzburg,
where he carried out his Nobel Prize-awarded research. In 1900 Röntgen transferred to the
University of Munich, where he remained for the rest of his life, despite plans to emigrate
to the US.
In 1895, Wilhelm Röntgen studied cathode radiation, which occurs when an electrical charge
is applied to two metal plates inside a glass tube filled with rarefied gas. Although the
apparatus was screened off, he noticed a faint light on light-sensitive screens that happened
to be close by. Further investigations revealed that this was caused by a penetrating,
previously unknown type of radiation. X-ray radiation became a powerful tool for physical
experiments and examining the body's interior.
Without Röntgen's experiments and dedicated medical knowledge, we may haven't had
such an in-depth look on our own bodies for many decades to come. The investigation and
later invention of X-ray machines opened up an entirely new world. Being able to see inside
of the human body with minimal invasive procedures allowed us to perform quick and
thorough examinations. They're viewed as very valuable technology for more than
just swallowed pennies and digested food. X-rays were admired in the medical
community for their ability to diagnose diseases such as tuberculosis.

The Nobel Prize in Literature 1913 was awarded to Rabindranath Tagore "because of his profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse, by which, with consummate skill, he has made his poetic thought, expressed in his own English words, a part of the literature of the West."

Prompt:

Women's rights and full participation in democratic processes are important to ensure lasting peace. In Yemen, democratic rights are restricted. In 2005, Tawakkol Karman co-founded the group Women Journalists Without Chains, in order to promote freedom of expression and democratic rights. From 2007 to 2010, she regularly led demonstrations and sit-ins in Tahrir Square, Sana'a. She actively participated in the 2011 protests against ruling regimes that took place in a number of Arab countries.

Prompt:

Life
Marie Sklodowska was born in Warsaw, Poland, to a family of teachers who believed strongly
in education. She moved to Paris to continue her studies and there met Pierre Curie, who
became both her husband and colleague in the field of radioactivity. The couple later shared
the 1903 Nobel Prize in Physics. Marie was widowed in 1906, but continued the couple's work
and went on to become the first person ever to be awarded two Nobel Prizes. During World
War I, Curie organized mobile X-ray teams. The Curies' daughter, Irene, was also jointly
awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry alongside her husband, Frederic Joliot.

Work
1903 Prize: The 1896 discovery of radioactivity by Henri Becquerel inspired Marie and Pierre
Curie to further investigate this phenomenon. They examined many substances and minerals
for signs of radioactivity. They found that the mineral pitchblende was more radioactive than
uranium and concluded that it must contain other radioactive substances. From it they
managed to extract two previously unknown elements, polonium and radium, both more
radioactive than uranium.

1911 Prize: After Marie and Pierre Curie first discovered the radioactive elements polonium and
radium, Marie continued to investigate their properties. In 1910 she successfully produced
radium as a pure metal, which proved the new element's existence beyond a doubt. She also
documented the properties of the radioactive elements and their compounds. Radioactive
compounds became important as sources of radiation in both scientific experiments and in the
field of medicine, where they are used to treat tumors.

Prompt: Alva Myrdal, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate of 1982

Born January 31st, 1902 in Uppsala, Sweden, Alva was the first child of a modest family. She studied psychology and family sociology and earned a crap degree in Stockholm in 1924. After moving to the United States with her husband Gunnar Myrdal, Alva was able to broaden her knowledge of children's education and observe the large social and economic disparities in the US. This pushed her to increase her political commitment and moved to Geneva for further studies.

Alva had an extensive career in philology and pedagogy and devoted herself to improving the conditions of the working class as a member of the Social Democrat Party. After World War II, Alva Myrdal was hand-picked by the Secretary-General of the United Nations system and became head of UNESCO's social science section. From 1955 she became the Swedish Ambassador to India, and was elected into the Swedish legislative assembly in 1962.

All of these positions and experience helped Alva stand out as an innovator when she was the government minister in charge of disarmament issues. Sweden was non-aligned, and as a representative Alva worked actively to persuade the other superpowers to disarm. She fought for nuclear weapons-free zones in Europe, and believed that each individual country must take the initiative and ban nuclear arms on its territory. She was award the Nobel Peace Prize in 1982 for her effort and leadership in the disarmament movement.
