Letters to Lulu

 

Lulu,

You are my favourite character! Hi, my name is Joyce and I am 8 Years old.  I go to school at White Oaks P.S. I am in grade 3. I love your stories. I don't have a pony but I still love them. I am kind of like Rosalie and Mimi. But older. I am sooo crazy about horses and ponies. I am doing a report on them so I know a lot about them. I hope you reply.

Joyce

 

Dear Joyce

It is OK to love ponies. I do. Not everybody can have a real pony right now. Did you adopt an online pony? You can learn lots about them. Soon there will be pony games in Pam's game loft. It will open soon. I like to draw ponies. I am trying to be a help to my mom. My dad is cutting firewood. He works hard. What do you like best about horses and ponies?

Dear Alyssa

I live in Wiggins. There are maps of Wiggins in the front of Pony Pals books.

 

 Wiggins is in New England. That is in the Eastern USA. Have you read any Pony Pals books? Write and let me know.

Pony Pals,

Hi Lulu,

My name is Aquinnah. I am 9 years old and I love the Pony Pal books.

I think Snow White is very brave, especially in book #1. It must have been very hard to lay still while Dr. C. looked at her leg. Could you ask her if it was? How old is Snow White?  From,

Aquinnah

P.S. Tell Snow White I said hi!

 

Dear Aquinnah

Snow White is a brave pony. I am really, really happy I have her. Rema didn't care much about her any more. Dr. Crandal is a good vet. He is calm around animals. Snow White can't talk but I think she likes being healthy. She is in her early middle years. I will hug Snow White. Winter ponies are fuzzy! What is it like where you are?

Dear Lulu, You're welcome. Did ya'll have a good Thanksgiving? We did. How can horses tell if somebody doesn't like them? Pam, Anna, and Snow White have big hearts. There's enough room for both you and Charlie.

Why are horses hoofs more important than peoples feet? Friends,

Cayce

 

Dear Cayce

Horses are very sensitive to other animals' feelings. Wild horses have to watch out for a lot of predators. Their nose is two feet long. Their ears rotate and are very large. They can run really, really fast a long time. So they don't stick around if they don't like any little thing about another animal or person. A horse's hoof is like a person's fingernail. There are some really good horse diagrams online or at your school library in horse books. A horse's hooves are really tiny compared to how much the rest of a pony or horse weighs. Tons of force bear on a horse's foot.

Pony Pals,

Hi Lulu, I am really sorry I messed up on the pony's. I know your pony is Snow White. I love Snow White! How is Snow White? The pony's here are great. Write back!!!!!

Ellie

 

Dear Ellie

That's OK, no worries. Snow White is good. Her coat is long. We have enough hay for all winter. I am glad. I am looking forward to vacation. Pam, Anna and I want to ride as much as we can. I hope my dad can be here. What are you doing for the holidays?

Pony Pals,

Dear Lulu,

Hi, my name is Katherine. I really like your pony, Snow White, and I really like the adventures you have with her.

I like the pony I have on clubponypals. I chose the white pony and named her Snow White!

 

I have some ideas for clubponypals:

1. It would be nice if one account could adopt more than one pony.

2. I would love to be able to untack my horse after I ride her.

3. I also would like to be able to have my horse jump over obstacles.

4. Would it be possible to pick a rider/ boy or girl, then choose clothes for that rider/ and then watch them ride?

I also have a question about something I read in Wiggins Weekly. How do I get to the barn loft? Thanks for reading my email and for creating this fun website.

Katherine

 

Dear Katherine

Thanks for writing. I hope you enjoy grooming your Snow White online. Right now the Crandal barn has to untack your pony. But in a couple of weeks our flash programmer Jennifer should have Crandal's barn rebuilt so that it works much, much better. Our first trail ride is almost ready. You will be able to jump your pony on it. Our Webmaster says that there are some limits to what we can do online in a browser. Mrs. Crandal says parents and kids all have said that they do not want downloads. So that means it would be real hard to make a "third person" character to watch ride. But our Webmaster will ask our programmers. They are pretty good about trying new ideas. The barn loft should be open pretty soon. Maybe by next week! There will be pony-oriented word games, math games and mousing skill games. You can make Wiggins Bucks that you can use to by treats for your pony or you. Some of the things you ask are pretty complicated. The site programmer can look into that. But right now you can have more than one pony, just sign up for another account. What are you doing for the holidays?

Pony Pals,

dear lulu

hi nz is cool its quiet and nice here. jack and jess are standardbreds i think anyway. i forgot how to send pictures sorry but anna has some pictures of me and katie so you can ask her to look at them maybe. so what you up to?

from amyz

 

Dear Pony Pal Amyz

Thanks for filling me in about NZ. Are there really Kiwi's there? I will ask Anna if she can find your pictures. Do you have any of Jack and Jess? It would be great to see them. I am studying a lot for tests before the holiday break. I try to help my grandma, too. Business at her beauty shop is slow. I don't think I will ask for anything expensive for presents. I am grateful I have Snow White. What are you doing for your holidays?

Pony Pals,

Dear lulu, 

HI my name is Anna.

I have a cat named Felix my mom said he is weird.

tonight we had him in and my brother was holding him on the couch he let him go he ran i held him on the couch he stayed with me

Anna

 

Dear Anna

Thanks for writing. Felix sounds to me like a normal cat. What color is he? Long or short hair? What else does he do? Maybe he likes you. Do ponies like you? Do you like ponies? My grandma does not like animals. It was a big stretch for her to let me have Snow White. But she trusts my dad's judgment. She knew I loved ponies in England when I was in boarding school there. So I got to have Snow White. I feel lucky. Do you have an online pony?

Pony Pals,

Dear Lulu, I just got my report card on Friday. On Saturday me and my brother went to my friend Shazia's birthday party. At her birthday we got a tour of the S.P.C.A. and got to feed the dogs and hold some puppies. I already set up my Christmas tree and decorated it. Tell Snow White I said hi. Have a great week. Please write back soon.               Love,                                                                                                 Alyssa

 

Dear Pony Pal Alyssa

I get my report card next week. I think it will be ok. How did you do?  The birthday party sounds like a really good idea.  Maybe we can talk to the St. Francis Animal Shelter about their holding parties there.  They have lots of animals needing homes now. We want to help them by collecting canned cat and dog food when we go caroling. We will put it in our saddlebags. Mrs. Crandal said we can take Daisy as a pack pony too if we want. Do you have your own Christmas tree in your room?  We are waiting for my Dad to get here to get our tree.

Snow White is really good. She is really fuzzy too. I gave her a hug for you and it was like hugging a teddy bear.  She likes it and she hugged me back.

Your friend,
