A scar no one remembers getting, but matches an old family tale 27. A shadow seen in the doorway of the hay shed at 3:13 AM 28. A song no one taught you, but your hands know the tune 29. A map drawn in ash, found under a floorboard 30. The Black Stockman — protector, or warning? 31. A hoofprint burned into stone 32. An old drover's diary written entirely backwards 33. A horse that knows trails it shouldn't 34. A campfire tale that becomes real the next morning 35. A clearing where no birds sing, and where no foal survives 36. A voice calling your name from across the creek 37. A mare that always returns to the same grave 38. A missing bridle found braided into a dreamcatcher 39.

The legend of the "Salt Man," who appears when drought break 45. A horse that stands beside an empty grave every year on the same day 46. A scarred crow that always flies overhead before someone vanishes 47. The bell from a lost pony heard in the hills during storms 48. A whipcrack from the mountains — where no one has ridden in decades 49. A floodgate that creaks like a voice, retelling stories 50.
