Noon heat shimmered over the desolate plains. Cole, a towering figure on a bay horse, scanned his herd with calm vigilance. Suddenly, an engine’s growl cut the silence. Dogs barked as an ATV burst from behind a hill, skidding wildly toward the livestock. Forced onto a steep slope, the vehicle plunged into a ditch. Cole spurred his mount, dismounting swiftly. He peered over the earthen edge, spotting the dust-covered rider and their wrecked ATV. The helmet was intact—a small mercy. He glanced back at the herd, then began his descent toward the accident site.
