Featured JAH - 11/30/2023, Nov/Dec 2004

 Hello and welcome to another edition of Featured JAH! We're finishing up 2004 with Nov/Dec this week (fittingly, for the date), so let's get started! 




















On the front cover we have the winner of that year's JAH cover contest in a very wintry, Christmasy scene. 





















In the Editor's Desk, Natasha talks about some philosophical stuff and sums up the magazine. There's also a reveal of Goin' for Gold! I always thought he was one of the prettier Lonesome Glory releases.





















On page 3 we have Letters to the Editor! 





















On page 4 is the first part of the article about Smarty Jones, 2004 Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner. 





















The article concludes on page 5 with a reveal of the Smarty Jones mold/model! Also his Christmas tree ornament. 





















On page 6 is the first page of an article about my favorite sculptor, Kathleen Moody! Huzzah! 





















The Kathleen Moody article continues on page 7. 





















After skipping an article about MEPSA and the 2004 Retired List, on page 10 we have an article about the equestrian portion of the 2004 Olympics! 





















The Olympics article concludes on page 11. 





















On page 12, the fabulous Tortuga makes his debut! Maybe someday I'll find one to add to my herd. 





















After skipping Breyer jr., Collector's Corner and a reveal of JC Penney Breyers for 2004, on page 19 we find the conclusion of the Kathleen Moody article and winners of the Bull Art Contest that I don't remembering being announced before. Maybe I missed that. Anyway, I still hope we get a new Moody sculpture someday - I want one so bad it's almost physically painful. Here's hoping, I guess! 





















On page 22 we find an article about ethics in live show judging - always a timely subject. 





















The ethics article concludes on page 23. 





















After skipping most of Horse Trader (still hanging in there at 1.25 pages), on page 25 is the Holiday Cover Contest results. 





















On page 26 is the first page of this issue's Vintage Point, this time focusing on the G2 American Saddlebred. 





















The Vintage Point article concludes on page 27. 





















On page 28 we have the reveal of Capella, the benefit model for the (sadly now-extinct) Abaco Barb breed of horse. 





















After skipping the Calendar of Events, we've reached the back cover, featuring the 2004 Holiday Collection! And with that, we've reached the end of both this issue and 2004. Check back next week for Jan/Feb 2005!
