This antique wagon was used during earlier times on the ranch. At present, it is stored on the 2nd floor of one of the many barns.
It was fun browsing through the barns.
The world renouned quality of the Arabian horses of the Jack Tone Ranch brought home many trophies.
More prizes.
More collection.
Arabian Horse Show
Jack and Marjie Tone put on quite a show, demonstrations, and song performance
The Jack Tone Ranch Showtime lasted about an hour.
The Ranch even had an opening ceremony with flag raising.
Jack and Marge's daughter narrating the show. The Tones became involved years ago when Marge bought some Arabian horses and oversaw their development
Jack Tone's comments.
Teaching Tone grandchildren how to balance themselves in the saddle.
The rider led the unmounted Arabian across the yard at a run to demonstrate how Arabians seem to "float" as they run.
The Tones also demonstrated that the highly intelligent, alert Arabian horse responded to applause by showing off more.
Jack and Marge.

More buildings. The ranch is quite a large operation.

The ranch provides "room and board" for Arabian horses of other owners.
Placing the tables and tents under trees helped keep temperatures quite comfortable until about 4:00 PM.
