Expert Dog Trainer
1 pp · humor; western-frontier
Cowboy Cal

When Cowboy Cal boasts he can train a dog to carry a glass of water on its back right then and there, he's confident he'll prove his dog-training prowess—but what looks like a slick demonstration might not go quite as planned. It's a quick bit of western humor that plays on the difference between confidence and results.

Plays the Dude
9 pp · western-frontier
Gabby Hayes

Gabby Hayes gets pressured into wearing fancy "dude" clothes by his stern friend Hester in exchange for her delicious cooking, but when he's spotted by the rough crowd from Hashknife Ranch, he's forced to prove himself in a shooting match, a bucking bronco contest, and a wrestling bout—all while covered in mud and thorns. By the time Gabby returns to Hester's social, his once-pristine outfit is thoroughly trashed, yet somehow he's managed to keep his end of the bargain and claim his well-earned meal.

The Tests
4 pp · western-frontier
MarkBuckLariat

Three young men raised by a Tetond-Dakota tribe—Mark, Buck, and Lariat—face a series of tests to prove themselves worthy warriors, starting with individual trials of marksmanship, wrestling, and lasso work. When the final test demands they find a hidden tribal member in the woods before sunset with no weapons, the trio must rely on their tracking skills and teamwork, only to discover their quarry in genuine danger. Mark, Buck, and Lariat work together to overcome an unexpected obstacle and complete their initiation, earning the chief's blessing to venture into the wider world as true warriors.

A Drip
0.5 pp · humor; western-frontier
Saddlehead

When a heavy rainstorm forces Saddlehead to spend the night at a friend's house, he takes the offer of shelter a little too literally—heading back out into the downpour to retrieve something he forgot.

Now behind bars and desperate to clear his name, Gabby must convince Sheriff Slim Daggle of the truth before the con artists make off with both the stolen money and the ranch.
