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: I don’t like how the pumpkin itself tastes, so I wouldn’t know much about recipes with it. But the seeds are awesome! I roast them every year. Going to try this recipe this year: https://www.yummly.com/recipe/Crunchy-R ... 6ff475fa28 bc my last couple of batches were made up on the fly and sadly oversalted. This one looks good though!

Prompt: I love to make pumpkin bread! I always use this Better Homes & Gardens recipe, but adding in chocolate chips and walnuts, with a nice brown sugar crumble on top. Every year I make it at least 5 times in the winter months, and it's always a big hit at christmas parties.

Prompt: Curried pumpkin soup! It's my own recipe, so I'll just list it here. Sadly, I have no aesthetically pleasing photos </3 But trust me, its awesome!

Ingredients:
- 2 onions, roughly diced
- 4 garlic cloves/2 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tbsp curry powder
- 400g pumpkin, diced (I prefer kent, but butternut works too)
- 200g sweet potato, peeled and diced
- 200g carrots, peeled and diced
- 1L vegetable stock
- 200g coconut milk
- (serving suggestion only!) 1 can chickpeas, drained and roasted
- (serving suggestion only!) 1 tsp sour cream

Method:
1. Heat large saucepan over medium-high heat and add onions. Fry until translucent (I prefer to use a splash of water instead of oil but do whatever suits you!)
2. Add garlic, curry powder, pumpkin, sweet potato and carrot and fry for roughly 2 minutes.
3. Add stock and simmer until veggies are tender.
4. Let it cool slightly (about 5 minutes) and use a stick blender to blend ingredients.
5. Gently stir in coconut milk - do not blender or boil.
6. Add roasted chickpeas and sour cream to garnish. Enjoy!

Prompt: My family LOVES pumpkin pie but I... am not the biggest fan, too many spices for me and not enough sweet. So I always make pumpkin cheesecake, the perfect mixture of flavour and sweetness. I found this recipe a few years ago and it is now my thanksgiving staple ^-^
