Mae is a smiling but focused cowgirl with a soft face, bright eyes, a wide brown hat, red bandana, denim jacket and leather boots, holding the reins of a gray spotted horse as she carefully crosses a rocky path. Toby is about 12, with tousled brown hair and a worried-then-proud expression, a rope dangling and a canteen in hand, following Mae on a small beige pony with a blue ribbon on its rope. Mae’s horse is calm with a flowing mane, slightly ahead; Toby’s pony is smaller with pricked ears just behind to the right. The setting is a glowing mountain pass at sunset with red and ochre rocks, dry blond grasses, a few pines and an orange sky streaked with pink clouds. They cautiously ford a shallow stream after rain: brown rippling water, slippery stones, droplets on leaves, slow careful movements, a brave reassuring mood. Visual style: warm saturated colors, clean outlines, chibi proportions, simple textures and childlike details.

A young cowboy named Jack, tanned and determined, sits upright on his gray horse Comet while looking into the distance; nearby Lily, about 7 with braided blond hair in a simple blue dress, points in surprise at a small shiny spot on the grassy bank of a sparkling stream; Sheriff Rose, about 35 in a sand-colored uniform and shiny boots, runs from a small wooden building calling out, and elderly Mr. Pruitt waves anxiously near a wooden fence. The setting is a wide dry sunlit prairie with tall yellowed grass, a dusty road, a few wooden buildings on a main street and a red water tower in the distance. A dark dust cloud like a cattle storm advances with rolling tumbleweeds as the town bell rings, and Jack prepares to guide the animals away from the stream while Lily points to the shiny object.
