The year is 1881 on the Great Plains. In a barn where centaurs coexist with humans as domesticated workers, four distinct figures pause their chores. Captain, a stoic Shire in a cattleman’s hat, stands beside Scout, a sweet Fjord with freckles. Buddy, a playful Breton, and Major, an elderly albino Belgian Draft with red eyes, watch as the heavy doors creak open. Dust motes dance in the light as the farmer leads in a young female filly centaur, her neck tethered by a rope, introducing her to the group.
