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.
This one is going to be a naming comp, but with a twist! I'm asking for your help me think of a barn name for this Trotter! Suggest two barn names you think fit (no need for show names!). So, that's two chances to win per person. Name I like best is the winner of the Trotter here!
(Note: I might not use the winning name exactly, I might modify it or use it as a jumping off point to a different name. The win will still count)

Gender: mare
Height: 13.5Hh
Halter Color: something red or orange, no particular shade preferred
Prompt: Altesse : she looks like a royal horsey! makes me think of these horses we have in the military, don't know how it's called in english but in french we call it Cadre Noir de Saumur. she just has this vibe.
or Bordeaux : another french name, it can mean both a dark red color or a city in the west where they make a bunch of wine.

Prompt:
1. Rhonda - idk why but this is my go-to name whenever I have to think about a name for a strong woman. We have named several pieces of farm equipment Rhonda for that same reason, their toughness 😂
2. Avery - apparently this name means ruler of the elves. She def seems like she would be in charge up the the North Pole so I feel like it’s fitting!

Barn Name: Tempest
Gender: Stallion
Height: 15.1 hh
Halter Color: Something storm-inspired
Prompt:
An obvious one: Leona. Sooty lion's mane always makes me think of lions, feminize it for a mare, and you get Leona.
Second option: Alouette! This event was all about ballet, pirouette is a ballet move, Alouette!
