[ShadyBro]

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: Named after the Cynarina lacrymalis a type of stony coral.
Show name comes from this fun fact I learned from NOAA while trying to confirm if Coral were animals.

In the case of stony or hard corals, these polyp conglomerates grow, die, and endlessly repeat the cycle over time, slowly laying the limestone foundation for coral reefs and giving shape to the familiar corals that reside there. Because of this cycle of growth, death, and regeneration among individual polyps, many coral colonies can live for a very long time.

Barn Name: Guppy
Gender: Stallion
Height: 11.3 hh
Prompt: Guppies are small, popular, hardy, energetic, prolific, and colourful fish!
"Guppy" has a few more meanings when used as slang. Sometimes it's used in a playful manner to describe someone foolish, easily surprised, or naïve. It's also a way to refer to a young, successful professional who is gay, used as a combination of the words "gay" and "yuppie."
All of the meanings of the term 'guppy' suit this Trotter. He's little and can be jumpy (easily spooked), but he's a lively and popular guy. He's also queer c:

Barn Name: Mantis
Gender: Stallion
Height: 13.2 hands
Prompt: Named after the Peacock Mantis Shrimp! These little critters look and sound harmless but actually go into full out boxer-mode when they find food or are defending themselves. According to National Geographic their punch is 50x faster than the blink of an eye and strong enough to break glass!

Barn Name: Symphy
Gender: mare
Height: 13.2 hh
Prompt: Symphy is named after the Red Turquoise Discus. Red turquoise discus have a bright blood red base color that is broken up by metallic blue lines, squiggles and spots. The contrast between the two colors is just stunning. After untold generations of fish, there are now hundreds of color morphs that are so eye-catching it almost seems impossible.
