Club Pony Pals News

Dear Pony Pals

Across America today everyone is celebrating Labor Day! And here at ClubPonyPals, we have even more to cheer about. Record numbers of our members are writing profiles for their personal pages.

With so many new members posting their profiles, many want to know how they can become pals with other members. Here is the best way right now:

How to Make Pals on Our Site

    1. Read forum posts to see what members have to say. If someone seems like they would make a good virtual pal, then you can
    2. Look up that member on your personal page's "Search for pals by user or pony name"
    3. Then go to your personal page's box, "Gift or W-mail My Pals"
    4. Choose the "Be my  Pony Pal" card, it is not expensive. Send this card to the member you want to be your pal.
    5. If the member accepts your card and friend request, you will be pals
    6. Then both of you can send and get w-mails directly to each other. All w-mail messages will be reviewed by an adult admin for content

If a member posts their profile, that means they want pals. Club Pony Pals is a great, safe way to meet online friends who also love horses.

Other news -- Club Pony Pals artists are getting a reputation! This week Club Pony Pals got a letter:

I went to your website and it is very nice.  I hope you can help us. I work for a school district and one of our elementary schools has a newsletter called the “Pony Express.” I have been asked to find a suitable drawing of a pony for the logo. We need a drawing of a running pony that is kinda cute and friendly looking.  Thanks in advance for anything you can do. Ron

Send in your drawing of a running horse and you can win 5000 Wiggins bucks if it is chosen! Deadline is Friday, September 18th.

Voting is now open for both our August story contest and our third coloring contest.

Our new coloring contest #4 art is available for download at

http://www.clubponypals.com/wigweekly/ww3-9pg2.html

Members ask me all the time "how do I earn more bucks?" Anybody who wants a saddle or more Wiggins bucks is missing out if they don't enter one of our contests!

Catch you on our forum or at one of our live moderated chats, between 6 and 8 pm EST every day.

Jane Crandal

PS Our members are forming new special interest clubs! Click here to see what these are. When you reach our Forum page, scroll to its bottom and see who wants to trade messages about the same things that you do. This is a great way to make new pals.

Club Pony Pals Forum Posts of the Week

Talk about a Pony Pals TV show popped up during last week's moderated live chat. If you want to see a TV show, read further. You can help make one happen!

Breanna55555 & Annie writes

OK JC, I was thinking what I should write for a letter to disney, some thing like this:

Dear Disney, I have had a idea on a new T.V show, I have been watching Saddle Club and, they were based on the book's. And yet there is another book series. It is called Club Pony Pals. Three girl's. One stable. Same concept. I have the permission from the Web site owner of Club Pony Pals to send this letter. If you want to really go some were then contact: (jc here you tell me what to write). Please take this to consider. Three girl's on Pony-back. Think about it! Sincerely, Breanna.

Ok how's that??

Jane Crandal replied

Dear Breanna The Saddle Club series airs on Discovery kids, a competitor of the Disney Channel. I completely agree that we need to do a TV series. What is missing from your letter is what makes this site and the Pony Pals better than Saddle Club. Could you add that to your letter? Friends, JC

Breanna55555 & Annie replied

Hmmmm....... what make's it better....were do I start? Dear Disney, I have had a idea on a new T.V show, I have been watching Saddle Club and, they were based on the book's. And yet there is another book series. It is called Club Pony Pals. Three girl's. One stable. Same concept. And I believe that the Pony Pals are better because, the Saddle Club is OLD girl's what I mean is if younger kid's (around the Pony Pals age) can relate. Like imagine a little girl reading a Pony Pal book and she just finished, she's sad because she want's MORE Pony Pal aventure she turn's on the T.V to Disney (her favorite T.V channel) and then a theme song start's. A smile creep's over her face. It;s the Pony Pals. And the Pony Pals are younger as in WAY YOUNGER than the Saddle Club so MORE Pony Pal Power! I have the permission from the Web site owner of Club Pony Pals to send this letter. If you want to really go some were then contact: ClubPonyPals.com 16654 Soledad Canyon Road #382 Canyon Country, CA 91387-3632. Please take this to consider. Three girl's on Pony-back. Think about it! Sincerely, Breanna

Jane Crandal replied

Breanna Your letter is fabulous. Here is an address where to send your letter.

Robert A. Iger President, CEO, and Director
Disney
500 S Buena Vista Street
Burbank, CA 91521-9722

He is the guy.

Breanna55555 & Annie replied

Thank's JC! You rock! I wish that the guy who get's it goes: "Hey! This is a good idea. I will contact this Person and see about it right away!" *Please please please let it become a T.V show!* Brea

Britnie & Shadow replied

Brea! That's an AWESOME letter! And you know what would make the Pony Pals come to a T.V. show even sooner? If let's say......oh...........If EVERYONE wrote a letter! You send that letter, I'll send one too (not the same of course) and Moon can send one too! And everyone else who reads this: SEND A LETTER FOR PONY PALS T.V. SHOW!!!!!!!!!!! If everyone could send a letter, the director would realize how many fans there are, and that the T.V. show would be most likely BETTER than the Saddle Club! Okay, maybe my letter should be like this: Dear Disney, I was thinking of how The Saddle club had a T.V. show and thought about my favorite pony books, Pony Pals, being a T.V. show too! It would be great if you could make it because the Saddle Club is so....."old". By that, I mean the girl actors are a few years older then me, more than four. It would be great if you could make the Pony Pals show because they're more of my age. It would be so great! Please, please, pretty please make the show, so you can make many young ones have a big smile on their face! Britnie

Pony Pal Thought for the Day

Irrationally held truths may be more harmful
than reasoned errors.

T.H. Huxley 1880

______________

Of all days, the day on which one has not laughed
is surely the most wasted.

Chamfort, 1805
