Dear Pony Pals

Our programmers are making steady--if slow-- progress toward finishing Olson's Pony Barn and Premium Cabins. Here's how one of our new choices will look.

Like you, we are anxious for our new features to be done and working right. As soon as they are ready, our testers are ready to help us make sure that everything works just as we want it.

One member sent us a great suggestion via email this week

Hi Club Pony Pals!I have an idea for CPP. I wasn't sure where to e-mail it, so I just am e-mailing it to the address that said you send questions to. I'm sorry if it's the wrong spot. Anyways, here's my idea. I was thinking that maybe you could add an 'Bus Pass' to Kine's Tack. It would be maybe 20 Wiggins Bucks or so, but you could use it for unlimited bus rides on the Wiggins Express for a day or a week or something. I know that I would buy one because when I am questing, it takes forever to tack up my pony, ride it to Wiggins, buy my supplies, head back to the barn and drop everything off and then repeat the prosses, and therefore I use a LOT of bus rides. I probably spend around 100 bucks a week for trasportation to Wiggins, maybe more. That's why I think a buss pass would be helpful. I know that riding my pony would be cheaper, but because it takes so long I usualy take it on about two rides, to Wiggins and back, each day. Thank you for taking the time to read this! may218 and Gizmo

Member suggestions are one of the things that make this game so great. We took may128's advice and when Olson's Pony Farm launches the Wiggins Express Bus Service will become free.

This is the last week for entries to our CPP horse and pony alphabet coloring book and we have extended our deadline to March 19. We will add entries as we get them. When it is ready as CPP's first e-book, the ABC's of Horses will be a great way to help kids worldwide learn their English ABC's and discover about horse and pony breeds at the same time.

Coloring Contest # 11 is open for voting.

Pony Pal Thoughts for the Day

Without Winter, Spring would have no spark. The world would become bland, for the same sight,  over and over, can be very boring, to the human eye. Without Fall, the leaves would just disappear, for the Fall, is what makes them gradually fall to the ground. Without summer, there would be no time for plants to grow. Nature has it's ways. While you may not like the snow from the Winter, you may even hate it, think of it this way: the Spring will only be twice as good. So, enjoy all the seasons, and the meaning that comes with them.
Britnie & Shadow
