Sometimes all that you need is a way to get your dude back home, unbooted, so that they can walk around town a little more. Maybe trade a goods first.

While this Ranch does require that the dude have a horse, and horses do usually come with movement - not all of them are helpful. in the final chess of the game, a Pinto or Calvary Escort cannot get you where you want, and a Yagn's doesn't have movement at all.

Enter the Scout's Rest, catch your breath, and get on home.
