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: Nyan Cat. Yes, the poptart-bodied cat in space. Bonus points if you can make it sing the song, but perhaps it could even be better as a team-building activity for your crew - you all get together and sing the Nyan Cat song. I think this would be an excellent figurehead because the cat certainly knows its way through space, and since sailors often use stars to orient themselves, this cat would serve as an excellent representation of the space knowledge that sailors aspire to have. <3

Prompt: The magpie! As legends have always written, two for luck and happiness. One particular mention states that two magpies are favorable for good weather and fishing! These birds are also considered a good omen for fortune, the English nursery rhyme stating;

“One for sorrow,
Two for joy,
Three for a girl,
Four for a boy,
Five for silver,
Six for gold,
Seven for a secret never to be told.”

If gold and silver is what you’re after, dear pirate, a flurry of five or six of these birds in flight make for a good figurehead, as well!

Prompt: I suggest Turner take heavy inspiration on this figurehead and carve a fossilized Kelpie.
Now I am trying to bounce it off his head and suggest the already carved Kelpie in my Garage as his creation and idea. He still owes me money for it, ofc.
