Dear Anna,
Hi!
I was wondering if I could be your friend. I am taking swimming
lessons. I love your new game! My pony's name in your new
game is Cocoa, she is a bay pony. This Thursday my dog Tiny
got to go on a long walk with two other dogs named Darby
and Cypress. What are you doing today? Please write back.
Love
Alyssa
Dear Alyssa,
Cocoa sounds
great. Is your pony a he or a she?
Your dog
walk sounds like fun. What kind of a dog is Tiny?
Today I have
to study. We have a test. In math. 8P

Dear Dear
Pony Pal Samantha
Thanks for
writing. I have been studying. My tutor says I have to learn
how to learn. The days in Wiggins are short now. I go straight
from school to see Acorn. His coat is getting very long. I
brush him and no hair comes out! I bet he is keeping it for
cold weather. Maybe I could grow my hair long, too. My grandma
says I should forget about that. She says one shaggy cut around
here is enough. How are things in Australia?

Dear
Anna it's Ellie. In Colorado we don't have birch trees
but we aspens that look like birch trees. In Colorado
we do have moose and coyotes here. I don't have a Shetland
pony, but I've always wanted one. What's school like there
and when did you get Acorn? Ellie
Dear Pony
Pal Ellie
Thanks
for writing. We have coyotes in Wiggins. Last year the Wiggins
Weekly had articles about them. You can read back issues
on this site. Last year Tommy Rand said he saw a moose.
That was also in the Wiggins Weekly. I don't think it was
a moose. The story of how Acorn became mine is in "A
Pony for Keeps." That is book #2. School is OK. I have
to study all the time. I wear blue glasses to help me read.
What is your school like? Do you have a tutor, too?

Dear Pony
Pal Amy
I like to get your letters. They help me read. For me words
look the same backward or forward. Numbers too. My tutor
gives me great hints. I study so I can learn about new things.
Drawing is fun. I don't think about it. For me it is easy.
Dear Anna,
Did ya'll have fun riding up to Mt. Morris? Glad Lightning,
Acorn, and Snow White are doing fine. I rode Annie on
Friday. She loves rolling in the dirt. Please give your
parents a hug for me and please give Acorn and Shadow
a kiss for me. Please answer my question.
Friends, Cayce
Dear
Pony Pal Cayce
Our ride
at Mt. Morris was cool. It was a long ride. We took a
lunch. Our ponies got carrots and apples for snacks. Ranger
Stanton met us. We rode home. The days are short now.
Acorn likes to get dusty too. Sometimes I kiss Acorn's
mane. He smells so good. My mom likes my hugs. She works
a lot. My dad finished fixing our roof. He is cutting
firewood now. Mrs. Wiggins has some down trees. That means
trees that fell down. Dad cuts them up with a chainsaw.
He gives some of the wood to Mrs. Wiggins. The rest he
brings home. He splits it and then sells it. He says the
wood heats twice. Once when he cuts it and once when someone
burns it.
Your
friend,
Dear
Anna:
The reason I said 'I'm like you' is because I, to, hate
writing. I also have trouble in school with these subjects:
spelling, language, and history. Yes, I have a horse.
Her name is Summer. She is small, like Acorn. The only
problem is she is not broke for riding. I have to ride
my moms horse, Dixie, if I want to ride. Summer is a
purebred, papered, Bakshir Curly. Dixie is a quarter/curly
mix, Well, it was nice talking to you. Got to go,
Serina
Dear
Pony Pal Serina
Thank you for writing me. Your letter looks OK to me.
I think you are good at writing. I would rather draw.
My tutor tells me I need to write more.
Wow, Summer is a Bakshir Curly? I went to the Wiggins
library. The librarian helped me. I looked on the library
computer. I found a photo.

And
a real cool story about these horses. Is this how your
mom's horse looks? Some people think they have been in
America a really long time. Maybe since before Europeans
came.

Do they
really shed their mane and tail? Awesome. Please write
more about your neat horses. Does your school have a librarian?
Friends,
