Design and depiction in the series
Braeburn's cutie mark resembles that of Applejack's simplified one in the 2011 McDonald's My Little Pony Happy Meal toys. He is introduced in the episode Over a Barrel, making his first appearance when he greets Applejack and her friends at Appleloosa's train station.

Applejack attempts to tell him that buffalo have kidnapped Spike and Bloomberg, but he is very enthusiastic about his new town and insists on showing them the sights. After showing them around Appleloosa and its apple orchards, he finally hears about the heist.

Braeburn explains the conflict between the settlers and the buffalo: the Appleloosans' apple trees were planted on the buffaloes' stampeding grounds. The settler ponies believe they should be able to keep the apple trees because they need them to survive. The buffalo think they should be moved because they've stampeded on the land as a sacred tradition.

Braeburn later meets up with Little Strongheart and appears to be willing to compromise with the buffalo, but Applejack insists on arguing the settlers' case, making them unable to reach an agreement. He watches Pinkie Pie's performance with the Sheriff, but does not participate in the battle later on.
