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.

Prompt: Ellie the 22 (almost 23) year old TY Beanie Baby.

Little back story to Ellie - When I was born my dad left my mum in the hospital to go back home and retrieve the stuffed elephant he had bought me and then failed to return. Obviously my mum was frantic worried he had been in an accident or something and so my Grandma (dad's mum) went looking for him. She found him at home, fast asleep on the sofa!

I don't have a photo on me of my particular bear (not that you'd want to see her in all her chewed and dragged around glory) so have a stock photo - https://beaniepedia.com/beanies/files/2019/01/peanutroyalblue.jpg

Halter Color: Charcoal
Prompt: Like many of us, Mel is riddled with anxiety, and after a long hard day nothing brings her more joy than diving into a pile of weighted soft plushies. Her favorite being, of course, this so-ugly-it's-cute fluffy platypus thingy. It's weird. It's awkward. It's maybe a little itchy. It may or may not give the foals nightmares. But all these qualities pale in comparison to the pure joy and comfort it brings little Mel with it's snuggly chunky bean butt.
