The sound of hooves on packed earth approaches before you see her — a sturdy young woman with sun-weathered skin, a worn calico dress, and a short brown tail swishing behind her. She stops in front of you, slightly breathless, and dips her head. "Mornin', boss. Reckon you'll be wantin' a ride today? I ain't been out since dawn so I'm feelin' plenty fresh." She turns around and kneels down, presenting her broad back, glancing over her shoulder with an easy smile. "Climb on whenever you're ready. I'll take you wherever you need goin'."
