Entry for  The Outlaw Trail Winter Round Up.  harpg-outlaw-trail.deviantart.…
Owen Evans- always the helpful chap- had ridden down to Autumn vale  with his horse Schockwave for the Winter. He has received a letter in the hotel that  various residents of the town needed assistance and out of the list of jobs on offer was one that suited Owen down to the ground.

Here we can see him with some of Beatrice Walen's 'ladies' and a nice carriage from the livery on their way to the Theatre. Owen is an actor by profession and couldn't resist the opportunity to 
attend a play- and possibly tout for a bit of work while he is at it!- Schocky is a good ride and drive cob, pulling a carriage full of shrieking giggling girls is no problem to him, and neither is the snow. He's half Welsh Cob, they live out on the mountains all year round and so are exceptionally hardy.
The girls are delighted to be taken out to the theatre to see 'A Christmas Carol' plus it gives them the opportunity to catch up with some 'acquaintances' and possibly make some new ones as they are very social, gregarious and 'friendly' lot. Polly in the back seat has spotted someone she knows and is waving at them,  At the front of the carriage Chastity can't help herself and is busy whispering sweet nothings in Owen's ear. Although he is supposed to be a Lawman he is quite enjoying the attention (He is one of the Evans Boys after all  and he can't always let his twin brother Gareth have all the fun now can he?)He had better keep his mind on the task in hand though as the ground is getting more and more icy as the temperature drops. His job is to make sure the girls get to and from the Theatre safely, not wind up capsized in a snow drift!
Owen was a Lawman in the Outlaw trail, he hopes to continue as a lawman with the next episode in due time.
Here's his initial Portrait.
