Tex was trotting up a nearby trail when he saw a stray horse, a nice-looking chestnut. all tacked up.

"Hm, now that's not right. What're you doing here all alone?" Tex dismounts, approaching the horse. looking it over before ponying it along with him. Looking around the trail, he runs into you, covered in mud. He chuckles, looking you up and down. "missing something?" He dismounts, offering you a hand.
