Dear Pony Pals

Our webmistress lives in California and she read that the San Diego Police Department is auctioning its Police Department horses. Police horses are some of the most intensively trained, gentle mounts imaginable. For more information, please click on this link to learn more about what will happen to Wam, Trigger, Major, Junior, Bret, Bandit and Austin.

These horses will be available for inspection on February 4th at the Police stables. They are also selling the horses' tack.

If you are looking for a good horse that is exceptionally well trained, please consider the animals mentioned in this article. They deserve good homes.

runner up French Indian & Nelly

In our forum contest - 1000 Wiggins bucks goes to the winner fancylover2 & Shadow for this entry:

I like CPP because: I get so much contact with other horse and pony lovers. We can talk about horses as much as we want. And i have even gotten a couple new friends here, too. I like it since we get to care for our own pony, like in real life. We feed it, brush it and ride it. We can ame it whatever we want, even. It is a great place to be, with no having to be over 13 like most horse sites. I like it since we have so many possibilities, we can ride, help out with quests do scavenger hunts... everything! And we can even watch Splash and Daisy! I like it since we can help a couple other animals too and give them feed. Like the bird who needs help up to the tree again! I like it since i loved all the books, and i have always wanted to "be" in the story too. And at least, we get to talk with the "real" members of the CPP books. Like you, Pam, Anna and Lulu! fancylover2 & Shadow

Pony Pal Thoughts for the Day

Just remember,...no matter how careful you are, there's going to be the sense you missed something, the collapsed feeling under your skin that you didn't experience it all. There's that fallen heart feeling that you rushed right through the moments where you should've been paying attention. Well, get used to that feeling. That's how your whole life will feel some day. This is all practice. None of this matters. We're just warming up.
- Chuck Palahniuk

_____________

Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after the other. - Walter Elliot

_____________

Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something, and that this thing, at whatever cost, must be attained. - Marie Curie 1867-1934

_______________

Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did. - Newt Gingrich
