Range Trotter #2979

Postby Embergleam » Fri Dec 30, 2022 8:34 pm

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.


Edgelord trotter? Edgelord trotter. This guy's a couple months late for Halloween, but what's eight weeks between friends?

This is gonna be a simple naming competition. Give this skelepon a name, then tell me why it fits. Best name wins!

Prompt: Hear me out on these please I promise it makes sense pffft
Voidheart Deathblade is the name of one of my friend's edgy mlp OCs who we reference all the time. He's so over the top edgy and it's fun to bring him up in random conversation. In terms of the barn name I thought I would go with something that seems a bit deceptively sweet with some darker origins. S.O.A.D is one of my favorite bands and their song "Sugar" seemed to fit this trotter pretty well in terms of overall vibe!

Prompt: Something about the combination of the show name and the barn name just really hits me. It seems awfully symbolic, like a broken rhythm can relate to a break in routine, a break in normality, rebellion, a break in your emotional status. But what do you need to identify this break, or even to solve it or understand it? Context. Context is the great unifier in all things misunderstood.

Halter Color: artist's choice (translucent if possible <3)
Prompt: The artistic trope "memento mori" is a reminder to the viewer of the inevitability of death, and vanitas refers to the vanity of earthly goods acquired in life. These tropes typically show up in artwork as a skull or bones but their purpose is not to scare the viewer but rather to urge them to ponder mortality and ultimately break free from its icy grip.
I think the name fits because the realism of the skull marking is parallel to how the artist would draw skulls in a memento mori artwork. The overall design lends itself as a pathway to ponder vanitas and remove all excess in favor of simplicity

Congratulations! The concept of 'memento mori' was absolutely bouncing around in my head while I was drawing this, so I just had to pick this answer. Enjoy your spoopy new boy!
