Hello and welcome to another edition of Featured JAH! This week we're covering the Summer II 1994 issue, so strap in and get ready!
On the front cover, the beautiful Domino trots across a field. I believe this image was also used on the box catalogs for 1994? Or somewhere - I know I've seen it before. Anyway, on the back cover, Domino's portrait model (a mid-year release for 1994) shows off the Breyer dressage saddle and saddle pad.
On the inside cover, a sneak preview of the Porcelain Arabian Mare, and the reveal of the Hackney Pony, Kitty Cantrell's first sculpt for Breyer.
In the Editor's Desk, Stephanie talks about the survey results from a previous issue, and there's an announcement of a special offer model coming up in the next issue. On the opposite page, Sno Jax Specialty is all grown up (but not done appearing in the pages of JAH in the future); the Breyer Tour kicked off in Milwaukee with Peter Stone, Breyer Man in attendance; and Misty's Twilight produced a pinto filly named Marguerite's Misty Morning after being bred to Art Deco.
On page 8-9 we have an article about Domino. At the end of the article is a factoid informing us that Domino shared a sire with Art Deco, another Breyer portrait horse (and member of my original carpet herd!). I remember when Art Deco died (10 years ago already); they were both beautiful.
On page 10-11 we have the survey results. There's a long list of new mold suggestions, all of which we ended up getting; some of them took longer than others.
On the centerfold we have the steps to painting a Bright Zip model, an early example of those stages of painting a Cigar or Smarty Jones that Breyer likes to pull out now. I wonder whatever happened to this set of models. They were still being painted in the USA at this point, so I suppose they probably went back to the production line and got finished.
This issue's Vintage Point covers the Stock Horse Stallion. That last inside has a nice ombre effect to it to match the other inside cover and the painfully '90s design scheme in this issue.
Other things not covered in this issue: How-To by Laura Rock-Smith, still active in the hobby today; Breyer Trivia, an article about collecting Breyer history by Andrea Gurdon (I didn't scan this one because it was spread across three pages), Western Alphabet, about reading livestock brands; judging four models in a Western trail class; building a trail-style teeter-totter in Newcomer's Corner, and Craftsman's Corner, again featuring Laura Rock-Smith.
