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.

The great white has a pretty bad rep, as most of you probably already know...
But attacks on humans are rare, and fatal attacks even rarer.
(That doesn't make them any less terrifying to me, because ocean = big scary LOL ;-;...)

Prompt:
Sharks can go into a trance. When you flip a shark upside down they go into a trance-like state called tonic immobility. This is the reason why you often see sawfish flipped over when our scientists are working on them in the water.

Just posting to mention that the prompt was changed, and then reverted back to the original--
In case that makes anyone currently looking here confused. ^^;

Prompt: Greenland sharks are the longest-lived vertebrate species on Earth, with an estimated lifespan of anywhere from 200 to 500 years. One individual sampled in 2016 was estimated to have been born somewhere between 1504 and 1744.

(And lest you worry, all the sampling involved was non-lethal. No sharks were harmed in the gathering of this absolutely mind-blowing data. <3)

Height: 14.2 hands
Pearl +/- Shell Color (3 shells): Mostly reds but with black or grey features
Prompt: Sharks first evolved in the silurian period, 439 million years ago. This means they have survived 4 of the 5 different mass extinction events, and, as the first mass extinction event, the end ordivician extinction event (caused either by global warming or decreasing oxygen levels), was only 5 million years before the emergence of sharks, and would have opened up a huge niche in the ecosystem for sharks to exploit in future, it's likely they benefitted from that one too!

Also!
I was technically bitten by a shark! But it was a nurse shark and they are both too small and too weak to really do any harm. It just sort of felt a bit scratchy, but no pain at all and no noticeable cuts. Nurse sharks only really bite people when they're curious and want to see what people are, because their mouth is the closest they have to hands. I think I was moderately interesting to the nurse sharks bc they swam around me for a bit but none of the rest were curious enough to repeat it.
