Hello and welcome to another edition of Featured JAH! We were on hiatus last week due to Breyerfest, but never fear! We're back to our regularly scheduled programming this week. Although if anyone has an issue of May/June 2010 I can buy, let me know, because mine seems to be missing. Anyways, let's get going with Mar/Apr 2010!
On the front cover, the model versions of Rachel Alexandra and Calvin Borel race in the 2009 Preakness, a diorama by Robin Briscoe.
In the Editor's Desk, Arlene previews the magazine as usual, and we also get another view of the Rachel Alexandra diorama.
Letters to the Editor appears on page 3 as usual.
On page 4 we have the first page of the article about Rachel Alexandra.
The article wraps up on page 5 with a full reveal of the Rachel Alexandra model. The real Rachel is of course still alive and living in retirement at Stonestreet near Lexington, KY.
On page 6 we have the first page of an article about the winner of Breyer's equestrian land preservation grant.
The grant article concludes on page 7.
On page 8 we have a sneak preview of some Breyerfest 2010 items! Ooh, aah, etc.
After skipping a Breyerfest profile of Radar and the Priefert Hitch, on page 10 we have a preview of some of the activities planned for the 2010 World Equestrian Games, which were held at the KHP in 2010.
After skipping a preview of some of the models Breyer made for the WEG, on page 12 we have the beautiful Connoisseur Spot On! She's very pretty, though I'm not really a fan of the mottling around the mouth and eyes. To each their own!
After skipping The Artists' Sketch, Mailbag and Model Horse Show, on page 16 we have a small feature on how the Rachel Alexandra diorama was created, plus a small ad for the then-upcoming Secretariat movie.
After skipping the rest of Model Horse Show, on page 18 we have an article about harvesting sap from maple trees and the use of horses in said harvesting.
The sap article wraps up on page 19.
On page 22 we have an article about the latest USEF Youth Sportsmanship Award, sponsored by Breyer.
After skipping an ad for Breyer Stablemates books, on page 24 is the first page of this week's Vintage Point article featuring the Scratching Foal!
Vintage Point wraps up on page 25.
After skipping Winners' Circle, the Calendar of Events and On the Trail with Breyer, on page 29 (aka the inside of the back cover) we have the reveal of the 2010 Spring Collector's Choice model! I wish the Collector's Choice model would come back. Imagine the cool things people would suggest on the new molds we have now!
On the back cover we have the reveal of the Arabian Mounted Native Costume set, featuring a handsome PAS and his rider in native costumes. That costume actually doesn't look too bad for being a mass-produced item - I wonder if they consulted with a model tackmaker to design it. Anyway, this brings us to the end of this week's issue - check back next week for...probably July/Aug 2010, since my May/June issue is MIA.
