Electric Wave and Palm Spring (briefly glimpsed in "Putting Your Hoof Down") are from Las Pegasus, a cozy little suburb nestled in Dawn Valley, just south of Manehattan. They are what many would call "valley mares"—they're super-hot, super-perfect, and, like, so totally super-excited for this. Together, they're ready to take on the world. With only the clothes on their backs and saddlebags full of their parents' money, these best friends will discover the true magic of friendship in their own unique way.
(Of course, "Valley Mares" is ultimately inspired by the valley girls of the San Fernando Valley in California, and draws further influence from the sort of staple plots which abounded on 1980s-era sitcoms. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have writing it! Also, I'd like to give my friend Bobdat a big thank you for being both editor and test audience for this story.)
