DM: <sigh> You arrive in Canterlot by train and then travel to the field where the rodeo was held. By now, you can see that the event space is being torn down. Roll Streetwise to either find Applejack or somepony who knows where she is.

Fluttershy: Ohhh… We didn’t do so well…
Rarity: Did we all experience sudden memory loss? “Yes, I’m looking for someone. I forgot the name, but I’m fairly certain they’re a pony.”
Pinkie Pie: “I brought a photo, but it’s only in black-and-white! So like this, but more orange-y!”
Twilight Sparkle: “Sorry, we must’ve grabbed her baby pictures by mistake.”
Rainbow Dash: “She had a cowboy hat and a southern drawl. Oh wait, that describes basically all of you.”
