Club Pony Pals News

Dear Pony Pals

The number one question our members ask is "how do I find pals here?" The answer? A special new way starts today: our new Pony Pals Please page.

If you want to hear from other pals who also want to make new friends on this site, this new page is the place to start right away.

When you log in, you automatically are listed on our new Pony Pals Please page. You can also choose to not be listed by clicking on the yes button until it says no, thanks.

If you are logged in, you can click on any member's name. You will go to their personal page. If their profile looks interesting, click on send them a gift to send them a an item from our gift catalog. Any gift automatically sends a request to be pals!

Make sure and check your My Pals list to see if you have any Pal requests.

Remember, all messages between members get a 100% review by adult humans and must obey our site policy: nothing mean, creepy or personally identifying allowed.

In other news, for our Running Pony Logo contest we have a winner! LexiLouLou911's drawing won her 5000 Wiggins bucks.

#12 Was the one we liked best. Thank you for doing this for us.  Our kids will be visiting your website Ronn

Read our petition to our very, very, very overdue avatar code writers. Add your comments, too.

Finally, 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! Details are below.

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

Pony Pal Thoughts for the Day

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly;
what is essential is invisible to the eye.

_____

Men have forgotten this truth.
But you must not forget it.
You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.

_____

We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors,
we borrow it from our children.

Antoine de Saint-Exupery 1900 - 1944
