Hello and welcome to another edition of Featured JAH! This week's issue is Sept/Oct 1997 and it's in large part dedicated to Cigar - let's get rolling!
On the front cover, Cigar thunders to victory in an unknown race. On the back cover, the Race Horse mold returns from 30 years of disuse for a JAH special run. Not sure if this one sold out quite as fast as previous JAH special runs.
In the Editor's Desk, Stephanie pretends to be someone from the Old West alongside an unknown man. On page 3, she talks about her experiences filming this Breyer TV commercial, along with this one and this one.
On page 4-5 is the rest of the article on making the TV commercials. I desperately wanted to see these commercials when I was a horse-crazy kid, but never saw them (probably because we didn't get RFD-TV in those days, or any other stations they may have aired on).

After skipping an article about horse racing, a "Know Your Breed" about the Trakehner, some other random stuff and another article about photo-etched buckles, we come to an article about the Misty of Chincoteague statue at the Beebe ranch. I'm pretty sure this statue or one extremely similar to it is now located at the KHP. On page 13 we see a Blast from the Past featuring Halla, and a Just About...Breyer Animals! featuring the Buffalo.

On page 14 we have the Sears and JCP special runs for 1997 (I had that Jumping Horse at one point), and page 15 has the Breyerfest '97 recap! Huzzah! I always enjoy reading old Breyerfest recaps - it helps get me through the sad non-Breyerfest months of the year.
On page 16-17 we see some nice color photos from Breyerfest '97, including a great head shot of Bold (and an autograph line for Darlene Geiser that must have been absolute hell in the Kentucky heat and sun).
After skipping an article about pedigree assignment, the centerfold (another photo of Cigar) and the Breyerfest 1997 live show results, on page 24-25 we come to this great article about Cigar, the wonder horse of the '90s.
On page 26-27 is the conclusion of the Cigar article.
After skipping a poem about Cigar, the Horse Trader ads and the Breyer jr. content, we come to the end of this week's issue with the Vintage Point article about the Black Beauty mold. I think I wanted Dream Weaver back in the day, but never got one (and don't think I've ever had any color of Black Beauty in my collection; that cross-canter is just too weird).
That's it for this week - check back next week for Nov/Dec 1997!
