These are the sand dunes of the desert. They are high and slippery to climb. They are very steep and if a horse is not careful, they could slip and fall. At the top of these dunes is the hottest heat that a horse could feel. The sun beats down so hot and so hard, if one stays too long they could end up with heat blisters and sores. Many horses completely stay away from these all together but, the brave try to climb over them. Climbing over them would be somewhat quicker than walking around them but also a bit more dangerous. The heat from the top could be unbearable but, going around would take much much longer. The dunes are the only thing separating a horse from the sweet, sweet oasis. The way you choose could decide you fate so choose wisely.
