Club Pony Pals News

Trail Open into Wiggins

Sheep meet thousands of visitors!

Dear Pony Pals

The last stretch of Pony Pal Trial opened this week! Riders start on it from Three Birches. It goes through woods, then through a pen full of sheep. Just click on the sheep pasture gate to open it and ride on in. The gate closes by itself behind you. One of those sheep was bottle fed and it can be kind of a pest always asking for carrots.

So now members can ride to Anna Harley's paddock in Wiggins. Ponies can be tied there. Downtown Wiggins is in the works! Watch the Weekly for news about how it develops.

An important note about the Weekly: we now get so many letters from members around the world that is no longer practical to post them all in an emailed Weekly. Many email systems will not accept attachments. So, from now on, letters to Anna, Lulu, Pam and Mrs. Crandal should be written in our new Forum. Look for that "Forum" button on the top right of our home page. There, members can also post messages for each other. No matter where in the world a member is, they can exchange messages with other club members. All messages are reviewed for permitted content. Our rules for messages: no personal information and nothing mean or creepy.

For letters with photos or art, please still email those to "Webmaster." They will be posted here in the Wiggins Weekly.

And.....our programmers are working on making personal pages for members, too. Look for those as soon as we have tested the code to make sure it works.

We are starting a new Monthly Member Story Writing Contest for Club Pony Pals. Club Pony Pals members can send in their pony stories to WebMaster@ClubPonyPals.com.

The stories can be 100 to 1000 words in length. All entries must be written by the member who sends them in. All entries become property of Club Pony Pals. Entering the contest means you give ClubPonyPals.com permission to publish them under the byline of your username.

First prize winner each month will get 1000 Wiggins bucks, a Club Pony Pals sticker and bookmark! Deadline for this month's entries is April 30.

That's all there is to it. Don't put it off -- start writing today! Look below for how to enter.

Our game changes every week. Don't forget to visit your pony to keep it healthy and happy.

Jigsaw Puzzle Contest Winner

Dear Webmaster & Pony Pals
I sent this dreawing of y'all (the Pony Pals) taking off the saddles and letting the ponies rest and have a snack. Where the ponies are is the first clearing. The trail that has a Wiggins sign (the sign closest to the barn) next to it is supposed to be a little longer. Bye for now, wish me luck on winning the contest Pony Pals.

This Week's Jigsaw Picture Gallery

This is some digital art I drew on GIMP and Paint (horse paint, horse eye GIMP). I am probobly a lot older (12) then most of the kids that submit to the puzzle so if another kid is like 8 and they have a very nice picture of a horse I'd rather see that then my drawing getting chosen for the display. Thanks.

Pony Pal Thoughts for the Day

"Have you ever tried pretending you were a horse? Have you thought what it would feel like to have a rider on your back telling you what to do? Would it be comfortable and enjoyable? Would it be uncomfortable and awkward?"

From "Centered Riding"
by Sally Swift 1913-2009
