Jack Frost is a beautiful little Shetland and as his name implies he came from a place in the State of Washington where snow and ice are common. -This pony," harness and buggy is a very unique combination. He is a handsome black and white in color mostly black with a few white spots. Early in life he gave evidence of being a pony of exceptional merit and was put in training for show purposes. Jack is a real champion in the show ring. He was the lead pony in the drill at the Cascade stock show in Yakima. A little girl rode him and he was the pony that got up on the pedestals and performed some tricks. Taught to go high and fast and being an adept to tuition, Jack soon became one of the most graceful per formers ever seen in Shetland harness. Jack Frost is perfectly broken to ride and drive, and al though a keenlactor is safe for a baby. No hackney ever entered the show ring with more style or better manners than Jack Frost and he has speed enough to go to the pony races. Just seven years old, he is at his best and being in the pink of condition, will go to his winner in form that he will maintain with but little' care for he is as tough a piece of condensed horseflesh as ever stood on iron. He stands 39 inches at the shoulder and weighs 364 pounds. I The buggy and harness are brand new. The buggy is a Windsor style pony vehicle just the right size, swell and classy. We paid exactly $125.40 cash, wholesale price f. o. b. Salem, for this buggy and harness alone. This buggy has rubber tires, good material and workmanship and classy appearance. Vv ' Jack Frost, harness and buggy is a combination swell enough for the son of a millionaire. He is, known as the picture pony. Wherever he stops on the street he is instantly surrounded by a group' of admirers. The contestant who finishes first will be' the owner of the monarch of all the SheUands of the Pacific Northwest. ! DUKE SECOND PRIZE ; This famous little, pony is hard to beat. Had he not been classed with a pony of exceptional class and merit like Jack Frost, this pony would be ranked first in the pony competition. . Duke won two prizes at the Oregon State Fair in 1920 one as a pony and one as a driver. In color he is a eal brown and his manners are'so perfect that he has never been known to make a wrong move, either in the stable or in harness. He is a great favorite in his home town. One of his favorite pastimes is to go around to all the local grocery and confectionery stores to coax the owners to give him candies and biscuits. Needless to say, he is well received and enjoys the good eats they give him. Bringing home the cows is another of his specialties. Duke is a general. favor ite of the community.
