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.

You find this hallowed trotter alone, huddled in the shadows by an object of some sort. It seems they are very protective of the item and unwilling to move away from it. They shift their hooves slightly and their flames lighten the space around them, revealing the object to you - but what is it?
Write a short story (100-150 words or so) about what this trotter's comfort item is and how they got ahold of it!

Trotters come in all shapes and sizes, but Ogi happens to be one of the unusual-looking ones. Ogi's height alone makes him hard to miss as he lumbers about between the trees. The judgemental stares always made him uncomfortable, which is why he lives on the outskirts of Camp Nightwing between the fallen trees and branches. Although he may appear to be alone, he is actually rich in friends. Ogi prefers the company of small creatures of the forest: birds alight on his towering frame and mice dart around his hooves. Ogi was given a small, smooth rock by his closest squirrel friend, Rigby, when he first moved to the haphazard Nightwing outskirts. This rock was picked from Rigby's personal collection- a symbol of respect and trust. Ogi carries this small token of friendship everywhere, reminding him that he is never alone and always loved, even if it is unconventional.

Prompt:
Scav's comfort item is a small glass float, about four inches across and remarkably intact in spite of its age. It washed up on the shore of the island years ago, still tangled up in one of the nets it once kept afloat. It captivated him from the first moment he laid eyes on it. Here was proof positive of a world beyond his island home, one totally unlike the land of shadows and monsters he was accustomed to. What would such a land look like? What adventures might it hold for someone like him? Scav still doesn't have an answer, but he can't wait to find out, and he's got every intention of bringing the glass ball that started it all along with him.
