Dear Pony Pals

Now members who ride to Anna Harley's paddock at the edge of Wiggins can tie their ponies and walk into downtown Wiggins.

Kline's hardware, tack and feed is now open for business. Click on the front door and then on any aisle to bring up their catalog.

There are new tack items like saddles, bridles, saddle blankets, halters and leadropes in different colors and more. There are also bags of carrots, oats and more horse cookies.

With personal avatars, riding together and new personal pages just around the corner, Kline's catalog will soon be filled with more items. As soon as the new personal pages are ready, members will be able to send each other virtual gifts, many of which will not be very expensive. And the new personal pages will show any special tack that the member wants to display.

There are Wiggins bucks for sale at our Store link at the top of the
page, including a special offer that helps benefit Mongolia's child pony jockies in that country's annual summer Nadamm festival. See Wiggins Weekly issue 2-40, April 13, 2009 for more about this offer.

To help members earn some credits to buy items at Klilnes with virtual Wiggins Bucks, on the way to Wiggins and in town there are two new quests that members can complete to get some credits.

First, Scout the kitten is in a barrel and needs to be brought back to the aisle of Crandal's barn. But which barrel? There are barrels in every clearing and in town. The only barrel Scout can't be in is the one where the Apple Bounce game is. That barrel is already in use and has a steady fall of apples into it.

So, to earn ten Wiggins Bucks, mouseover on every barrel. If Scout meows, there he is. Click on that barrel. You'll get a view of Scout in the barrel's bottom. Click on Scout. He goes into your "saddlebag" inventory. You'll need to carry him all the way back to the barn aisle. Then open your inventory, click on the image of scout and then you'll see him in the barn aisle's door. A card will appear to thank you for returning him to the barn.

BUT if you go too fast as you return Scout to the barn, he will first meow loudly at the trot. If you canter, Scout will get scared and jump out of your saddlebag. You won't be able to rescue him again that day. So, members have to decide -- rapid travel or reward?

Scout can be rescued once a day.

Our second new quest is an errand for Mrs. Crandal. On the bulletin board that is next to the vending machine in the barn aisle is pinned a white letter. Clicking on it will put it in a member's inventory. When a member rides their pony to the edge of virtual Wiggins, ties their pony and goes on foot into town, they can reach a mailbox in front of the Wiggins post office. Then if a member clicks on their inventory and clicks on the letter, they can "mail" it. There is a reward for mailing Mrs. Crandal's letter. This letter can be mailed once a day.

There are other ways to earn Wiggins Bucks. Starting this week, there is a prize of 100 Wiggins bucks for each math game top high score and 50 apiece to player who places in the top ten scorers.  Start solving!

And remember, the deadline for June's story contest is just about a fortnight (Hi UK members!) away, or ten days.  Our story contest's winner -- chosen by voting members -- will get 2500 Wiggins Bucks. The next two runners up each get 1000 Wiggins Bucks. Email stories in to Webmaster@ClubPonyPals.com
or post it in our forum. Stories can be any length. This is Club PONY Pals so there should be a pony or horse in it somewhere. Deadline for this month's contest is June 30th. The winner will get 2500 Wiggins Bucks! So start writing!!

Anna said we need another art contest, too. So even if you can't write or draw, enter our July coloring contest. Read how below.

Our weekly art contest is still going. Each week, the winner gets 100 Wiggins Bucks, a bumper sticker and a bookmark that is redeemable for some virtual pony treats on the sign in page where it says "coupon code."

If you are having problems with the game, you may need to clear your computer's cache files.  Read how below.

We have gotten a lot of requests for another virtual sleepover. So mark your calendars, it will be July 3, 2009.  It starts at 8 pm Eastern Time USA and will run until 10 pm Eastern time or whenever everyone gets too tired!

P.S. We are looking for new members. If you have a friend you think might like our Club, please tell them to sign up and try it. The only way we can keep our site free is if we get lots of new members.

WinstonSpirit & Winston

I named Winston after my aunt's quarter pony. He was her first pony. My aunt taught me how to ride on him. He was the sweetest pony ever. Every summer I would stay at her farm. Then he started getting sick and her died of old age. When my mom bought me Winston, I knew it was the perfect name for him. I have made some new pals!Kali said she was going to make a acount as soon as her mom gets the computer fixed ( her hamster chewed the wire in half!) Pals,

Jane Crandal writes about clearing your cache

When we built downtown Wiggins we had to make a lot of things change in our game. If you are having problems you need to empty your cache. If you use internet explorer, you will have a large “e” icon on your desktop or on your start menu. This icon operates the Internet Explorer program. Right-click on this icon. From the drop-down menu, select “Internet Properties”. A box will display with file tabs across the top. The first tab will be “General”. On this page, left-click the “Delete” box next to “Browsing History”. Another box will display. Be sure the following items have a check mark: Preserve Favorites Temporary Internet Files Cookies History Form Data Click “Delete” at the bottom of this box.

When the delete process is completed, that box will disappear.

Left-click the “OK” button to close the “Internet Properties” box.

Re-boot the computer.

That should fix it and it will work fine. JC

Pony Pal Thoughts for the Day

If you hear that someone is speaking ill of you, instead of trying to defend yourself you should say, "She obviously does not know me very well, since there are so many other faults she could have mentioned."

Epictetus, Enchridion, 2nd century
