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: Tokyo’s closest friend is a feathered menace by the name of Tuk-Tuk. Tuk-Tuk is a lil magpie who refuses to leave Tokyo alone, following her everywhere and even sometimes disappearing to bring back something shiny. Despite playfully calling Tuk-Tuk names, Tokyo adores the magpie and enjoys spending time with them, even when Tuk decides to play harmless pranks on Tokyo. Whether that be sitting under the shade of a tree together while Tuk-Tuk plays with Tokyo’s hair, or running full tilt as the magpie flies above, Tokyo wouldn’t trade her best friend for anyone else.

Prompt: Lethe is, without a doubt, Yabe's best friend. They're cut from the same cloth, preferring to keep their secrets and their own company. Their own company just so happens to be even better enjoyed with the other nearby. They're often found out in the wildest corners of the ranch, standing head-to-tail swishing flies away from one another's face. Theirs is an easy, uncomplicated friendship they lapsed into almost without trying, and both have come to treasure it.

And if Yabe has a big dumb crush on Lethe, well, what Lethe doesn't know can't hurt her.

Prompt:

Melis' best friend is no longer with him. In fact, he hasn't seen her in years. But even still, she holds a special place in his heart.
They met when they were just little foals tottering around on long legs, back when the world was filled with joy and carefree wonder. Her name was Juno and her and Melis were as close as two foals could be. Their mothers would often joke that they both had two foals each instead of one, that's know much the pair stuck to each other's side.
Melis knew that whenever he needed her, Juno would be there for him. And whenever she needed him, as would he. The two promised to never separate, but that was a promise they could not keep. They wouldn't be yearlings forever, of course.
Juno was taken to a different stable to live under new owners when she was two years old. Melis stayed behind.
Juno had promised her best friend that this wouldn't be the last time he saw her. Melis returned that sentiment. But now it's been quite a few years and he still has not seen her since that day. Nonetheless, he often goes to her memory for comfort when he needs it. He imagines what she might say to him or do in each situation, helping himself in doing so. He often wonders if she does the same.

Melis still holds out hope that one day, they might be together again. But for now, her memory will have to suffice.
