Collection Spotlight: Jazz Fusion

I asked a hobby friend who my first collection spotlight should be, since they're familiar with my collection. They said Jazz Fusion. It ended up being perfect, since I had planned on the first conga time to be my Cleveland Bay conga. He was already off the shelf, so it made getting pictures easy. 

I was searching for a Jazz Fusion for a while, since I knew I would need time payments for one. I paid him off throughout the first half of 2016 on my college job's meager paycheck. I finished paying him off at the end of the spring semester, and had him shipped to my mom's house.   

Unfortunately, he arrived with a broken ear from shipping, and I have yet to start the process of getting him repaired. It means he doesn't get the attention some of my other Cleveland Bays do, because they can show and he can't. 

A fun fact about Jazz Fusion is he was my first Connoisseur model! I've only bought Reverse Polarity since, but I'd love to find a Tempest or a Pandora. All of the Connoisseurs are so well done in my opinion. 

Jazz Fusion was offered in the July/August 2006 issue of JAH. He's a glossy dark bay tobiano with plenty of mapping. Like all Connoisseur models, there are 350 made of him. 

When I said he had extensive mapping, I wasn't kidding. Look at his face! I wish more of the web specials had this level of detail.
