It looks
really pretty there. Do you really have bears, moose, wolves,
mountain lions and hot springs? That sounds scary.
Does it
snow where you are? It gets really cold here. We had frost
this week and my mom’s water hose at the diner froze.
Dad had to go thaw it out with a blowtorch.
How do you
get to school? Do you have to take a boat to go into town?
Write back.

Dear Serina
Wow. What
do they do about flies if they don’t have a tail? That
is so weird. Do you have flies there? How does a horse without
a tail swat a fly? Do you tie things on where their tail should
be?
When Fat
Cat had kittens at Pam’s one of them kept attacking
my pencil while I tried to write. It made me laugh.
Acorn is
so good. He is really really really really fuzzy this year.
His legs look like they are little fur tree trunks. But they
are really soft.
Snow White
is fuzzy too, but not as much as Acorn.
We have
bells now to tell hunters we are ponies not deer. We put them
on every time we ride. The bells are really old. They were
from Ms. Wiggins. She gave us each one and made us promise
to wear them whenever we rode until 2009.
When we
ride down the trail it sounds like jingle bells.
Frendz,
PS Yes, you
are a Pony Pal!

dear
anna my best friend
thank you i like your letters to they help me read. at
school we are doing swimming yay. today i made a new friend
she like ponys and she likes you guys to she has like
all the books lol. i love doing art too and i have to
learn math and stuff at home to but that does not matter.
what you up to? from your good friend amy g
Dear Amy
Swimming
sounds like fun. It is very cold here. This week a pipe
froze at the diner. My dad had to fix it.
What is
your new friend like? Does she have a pony?
This week
my tutor and I had a practice game for math. It was really
good. Sometimes it seems like she makes math a game. But
then when I go to take a test it is not so scary as it was
before.
Send me
a drawing. I will do one for you if you send me one.
We are
riding. But it gets dark really early here. I can only ride
after school when my tutor is not teaching me. That means
Acorn only gets ridden Mondays and Wednesdays. Sometimes
we ride Fridays, too if Lulu doesn’t have to help
her Grandma at the Salon.
What days
to you have to learn math at home? I don’t remember
do you have a tutor too? Write back I like to read your
letters.
Pals,

Hi,
Anna!
My name is Maya. I love horses! Acorn and you are my favorite
characters in the Pony Pals. I ride a chocolate palamino
pony named cheerio every thursday. He is a lot like Acorn.
He is shaggy and soft. Do you have any riding information?
My favorite book you and Acorn starred in was "the
movie star pony." The girl was mean. You made the
right choice.
I'd love it if you wrote back!
Maya
Dear Maya
A chocolate
palomino sounds so pretty. What kind of pony is Cheerio?
Do you ride English too?
Mrs. Crandal
has lots of books about riding. I can ask her if you want
to know something. She is really smart about horses and
ponies.
Pam, Lulu
and I think Bette was a little spoiled. When people are
movie stars everyone around them tells them how wonderful
they are all the time. Bette just got to thinking that she
was special. I was never so glad to ride Acorn as the day
she gave him back to me after the movie. Every day I see
him in my yard makes me happy.
Write
back and tell me about what you are doing with Cheerio.
Your friend
with a bell on her pony,
Dear
Anna, Thanks for clearing that up for me. Our moms have
something in common. My mom loves hugs to. Glad ya'll
had fun at Mt. Morris. Glad your roof is fixed and that
Miss Wiggins got some fire wood. How's Shadow doing? Have
a good Thanksgiving.
Friends, Cayce
Dear
Pony Pal Cayce
Ms. Wiggins
needed that fire wood this week. It has been COLD here.
Shadow
is fine. When it is cold sometimes he sleeps in his house
and sometimes he curls up on Acorn’s back where
it is warm.
We are
going to a sleepover at Crandal’s on Friday. I am
going to help my mom at the diner on Thursday, she has
a big Thanksgiving dinner planned. A lot of people come
to eat there instead of cooking at home.
What
are you doing for Thanksgiving?
Dear
Anna,
How are you and Acorn? Is Acorn geting his winter coat
yet?
Can you draw me a picture of you and Acorn jumping?
Do you like Chistmas? I do.
Your Friend
Hope.
P.S. My brother said hi to Acorn.
P.P.S. Can you give Acorn a hug for me?
Dear
Hope
Acorn
is so fuzzy he looks like a little bear. When I brush
him I get static from all his hair and it all stands on
end. I drew this picture for you.
It’s
from a photo Mrs. Crandal took last month.
Hope you like it.
Now
it’s your turn ;-)
PS Tell your brother Acorn said “Where’s my
carrot?”
PPS
Acorn said he liked the hug a lot and wanted to know if
there was a horse cookie too.
