In other news, our CPP horse and pony alphabet coloring book is almost done, but it still needs some entries. We are missing drawings for these breeds

  • Choctaw
  • Xilingol

For these breeds only the deadline is extended until April 3rd.

When it is ready as CPP's first e-book, our "Pony Pals ABC's of Horses" will be a great way to help kids worldwide learn their English ABC's while they find out about horse and pony breeds.

 

Feeling lost? Look at a map of Wiggins here.

While we had hoped that our programmers would have Olson's Pony Farm ready, it still is not. As soon as we know it is finished enough, our testers will hear from us first to try out all its new features.

Our new virtual riding lessons are each Tuesday, from 6:30 to 7:30 Eastern Time. Lessons are held in the live moderated chat. This is a great way to work on mentally visualizing your riding -- and they are lots of fun.

Every day hundreds of new members sign up and ask for Pal requests. Take a moment and see who's just signed on recently with our "Pals, Please Page." Our world has some great ways to meet other pals. Click here to learn more. Please help new members feel welcome - send a card to someone who is new!

Our game changes all the time, if you log in and weird things seem to happen, please clear your computer's cache.  See the instructions here to learn how.

Members ask me all the time "how do I earn more bucks?" Anybody who wants more Wiggins bucks is missing out if they don't enter one of our contests! Details are below. We need funny cartoons, they should be in black and white.

And if a member creates a Youtube video about our site, let us know! We will award a thousand Wiggins Bucks for a good video about us.

Pals,

Jane Crandal

Pony Pal Thoughts for the Day

Where in the wide world can man find
Nobility without pride,
Friendship without envy
Or Beauty without vanity?
Here, where grace is laced with muscle,
And Strength by gentleness confined.
He serves without servility,
He has fought without enmity.
There is nothing so powerful,
Nothing less violent; there is nothing
So quick, nothing more patient.
All of our past has been borne on his back.
All our history is his industry,
We are his heirs, he our inheritance.
Ladies and Gentlemen –
The Horse.
~
Ronald Duncan

Don't be the rider who gallops all night
and never sees the horse that is beneath him. ~
