Horse buyer
This horse, “Party! All The Time’’, owned by Marg and Wayne
Allin of Allincourt Stables outside of Blyth, attracted the
admiration of Jackie Mauget (right). Mr. Mauget travelled to
Canada from France looking for Saddlebred horses and was
interested in purchasing “Party! All The Time’’ from the
Allins.
local horse
A celebrated equestrian from
France has taken a keen interest in
Party! All The Time, an American
Saddlebred horse owned by Marg
and Wayne Allin of Allincourt
Stables in Blyth.
Allincourt stables specializes in
show-type saddlebred horses which
are known as a peacock in the ring.
But, in France, the Saddlebred
horse is virtually unknown said
Mrs. Allin. “In the Paris area, the
potential for a Saddlebred is un
limited as a breeding horse and as
a star attraction at equestrian
events,’’ she said.
So when Jackie and Maria Mau
get from Blayes in the Bordeaux
Region of Southwestern France
came to Canada, they were really
interested in the Saddlebred horses
here.
Mr. Mauget is known in France
as a horseman since he gives
private riding instruction in his
country and trains both Anglo-arab
and Thoroughbred horses. He has
ridden with the
chase team, a
event in France,
of the French mounted police
explained Mrs. Allin.
“Party! All The Time made a
very favourable impression with
Mr. Mauget,” said Mrs. Allin.
Mr. Mauget is now in France to
seek investors to help him purchase
one of the Saddlebreds at Allin
court Stables, Mrs. Allin said.
