Valve nodded and quickly turned her attention to the race at hand. She galloped strongly alongside the other mare, her hooves flying through the sand and she reached out to quickly nip her shoulder as she in turn playfully bumped her narrow frame. The dark mare kept pace with her like-colored new companion, her white nose bobbing in tandem with Valve's own. Perhaps she could have pushed herself harder, moved ahead and won but Valve does not run today for any other reason except to feel the thrill of the wind in her mane and for her hooves to pound the sand as fiercely as the ocean crashes upon the beach. 

She is still right alongside her as they reach the top of the tall dune together, the pink inside her nostrils flaring widely as she breathed the hot, dry air. Valve tossed her head wildly and found the other mare's gaze as she joined her in a half-rear of accomplishment. It felt good to run with her. 

"Well done," she commended her after settling into a comfortable, relaxed stance. "I am Valve. Welcome to the Dunes."
