Featured JAH - 3/23/2024, Jan/Feb 1999

 Hello and welcome to another edition of Featured JAH! We're starting a new year with Jan/Feb 1999, so let's get going! 

On the front cover, Romanesque pulls a cart through a field. On the back cover, the Paddock Pals Ranch Carrying Case makes its debut! 

In the Editor's Desk, Stephanie announces the World's Best School Horse contest. On page 3 are the contest details, the winner of which would be a new model for 2000. 

On page 4 is an article about Breyer portrait horse Copper, a neglected Arabian who was rehabilitated by the HAHS along with two other horses. Copper's portrait model was on Sham (I had one at one time but have since sold him). On page 5 is an article about Breyer portrait horse (and cover model for this issue) Romanesque. 

On page 6-7 is the New for 1999 product line. Sigh...if only we got this many new releases now! Wait. That means I'd probably be spending a lot more money, so never mind. 

On page 10-11 we have a list of 1999 Breakfast Tour events, including a photo of Cricket and Willow, the special run set that was available at these events. Oddly, the photo is black-and-white - you'd think they'd use a color photo if they want to sell these things.

On page 12 we have a Who Am I? featuring a Fury Prancer and a customized CAM, and on page 13 is a Blast from the Past featuring the Pony of the Americas and Just About...Breyer Animals! featuring the St. Bernard. 

On page 14 is an article about Breyer portrait horse Chief of Fourmile. On page 15 is a Breyerfest update, including a list of hotels with Breyerfest rates. Interesting that the Clarion (known as the Holiday Inn North in those days) isn't first on the list, being the host hotel, but I guess I don't write these things. 

After skipping an article about model horse showing and an announcement of a Breyer photo show, we come to the centerfold with a selection of the 1999 new releases. 

After skipping an article about making a model-size bridle, on page 24-25 is an article about a Breyer fan who managed to get onto an episode of Jeopardy. 

On page 26 we have the Breyer Jeopardy questions, and on page 27 are some illustrations for the model bridle that I couldn't be bothered to crop out. 

After skipping Horse Trader and Breyer jr., on page 38-39 we come to this issue's Vintage Point article, this time covering the Clydesdale Stallion. 

On page 40-41 is the rest of the Vintage Point article, and that brings me to the end of this issue! Interestingly, my collection has never been graced by a Clydesdale Stallion, though I did once briefly own the glossy red bay (not yet in existence when this issue was published). It was a handsome color on him, though! That's it for this week - check back next week for Mar/Apr 1999!
