Club Pony Pals News

Dear Pony Pals  

Olson's Horse Farm is open for business! When I went to Olson's to see who was there, a lot of Pony Pals were already looking over new ponies.

Olsons horse farm crowd

When a member buys a pony at Olson's Horse Farm, they get their own cabin to furnish and decorate. There will be lots of things to choose from. Just to start, we offer paintings, club plaques, flowers, an alarm clock and more. We are adding items each day. Trophies display how many miles a member has ridden. And each week we will award a special trophy to each member in the top five who earn the fastest Cross Country trail times. You can stop by a member's cabin and see how they are starting to furnish it and what trophies they have won. Pam's cabin looks like this today.

With all the excitement and work of launching Olsons, our CPP horse and pony alphabet coloring book is still in production. Look for all the drawings to be online soon.

When it is ready as CPP's first e-book, our "Pony Pals ABC's of Horses" will be a great way to help kids worldwide learn their English ABC's while they find out about horse and pony breeds.

 

Feeling lost? Look at a map of Wiggins here.

Our virtual riding lessons are each Tuesday, from 6:30 to 7:30 Eastern Time. Lessons are held in the live moderated chat. This is a great way to work on mentally visualizing your riding -- and they are lots of fun.

Every day hundreds of new members sign up and ask for Pal requests. Take a moment and see who's just signed on recently with our "Pals, Please Page." Our world has some great ways to meet other pals. Click here to learn more. Please help new members feel welcome - send a card to someone who is new!

Our game changes all the time, if you log in and weird things seem to happen, please clear your computer's cache.  See the instructions here to learn how.

Members ask me all the time "how do I earn more bucks?" Anybody who wants more Wiggins bucks is missing out if they don't enter one of our contests! Details are below. We need funny cartoons, they should be in black and white.

And if a member creates a Youtube video about our site, let us know! We will award a thousand Wiggins Bucks for a good video about us.

Pals,

Jane Crandal

Letter from New Zealand

Horses in New Zealand

Horses and ponies in nz are wonderful but of course they are the same as you guys ones in California. Unfortunately if your horse or pony lives in a paddock in nz it may get caught by some unsuspected drought, so it’s better to keep your pony in a stable in summer. We often get lots of floods here too if it rains for a long period so the horses sometimes get stuck in the floods. Ponies love to go for a ride in nz great dense bush so loads of people often go trekking on their ponies. We have loads of shows in nz so the horses and Ponies are very fortunate. Most of the ponies that I’ve seen love New Zealand and are very Happy.
