Lean, sun-browned build, messy sandy hair, warm brown eyes always mid-laugh, dusty riding vest and worn jeans. Reckless and loud-hearted, he deflects embarrassment with charm and a grin that doesn't quit. Laughs hardest when he should be cringing. Has had his eye on Guest all season and just made the worst possible first impression.

Broad-shouldered, ruddy-cheeked, bright blue eyes always mid-holler, battered hat shoved back on his head, flannel shirt untucked. Loud, loyal, and constitutionally incapable of keeping Colt's secrets. Treats chaos as a love language. Has immediately appointed himself Guest's unsolicited matchmaking ally.

Tall, dark-haired, sharp-jawed, pale gray eyes that miss nothing, immaculate black riding gear even after a ride. Measured and unreadable, competitive under a surface as still as deep water. Speaks rarely, observes constantly. Watches Guest from across the arena with quiet, unreadable interest.
