U.S. Title For Allionce+/
Allionce+/
|
1997 was the year for Allionce+/ to bring home the roses. With a number of U.S. and National titles already to his credit, Allionce+/ added what could only be considered the icing to the cake by thrilling the audience with his famous style and placing himself in the IAHA record books as 1997's National Champion in Informal Combination. Tears of joy flowed freely as the magnificent stallion made his way around the arena with his trainer Jim Lowe, proving once again that Allionce+/ not only has the talent that it takes to win, but the heart that it takes to overcome the obstacles that would stop an ordinary horse. There were those who thought of 1997 as Allionce's "comeback" Nationals, but to those that know him best... he was never really gone.
Oh Those Allionce+/ Kids
It takes more than just a good looking and talented stallion to make a great breeding sire, it takes a stallion who can produce offspring that are able to make it in the showring too. Well, the Allionce+/ kids made it a point to show just what daddy could do when they visited Albuquerque for the 1997 U.S. Nationals.

Allusion AOF, a three year old colt and Allegence CB, a yearling colt. both picked up Top Ten honors; not to be outdone, Alley Khat, a yearling Half-Arab gelding brought home a Reserve Champion title. All in all it was a pretty good year for Allionce+/ and his kids, after all this was just one show, we haven't even mentioned what happened throughout the earlier part of the year!!!
Back to English
It will be back to English Pleasure for Allionce+/ when he makes his 1998 show season debut in Scottsdale. Last year it was a First Place in Driving, followed by a Reserve Championship in his class when he strutted his stuff in front of the multitude of spectators in the Arizona desert; this year he is taking off the harness, donning the saddle, and going for the gold. Although spectacular while followed by a cart, Allionce+/ is always at his best when it is just him, Jim, and a cheering crowd.
Jim and Allionce+/ have been wowing audiences for years from the showring, starting in 1994 when they brought home a U.S. National Reserve Champion title in English Pleasure Jr. Horse, repeating the U.S. title again in '95 and being named Canadian National Champion Jr. Enlgish Horse as well. While unable to attend Nationals in 1996 due to an eye infection, which sadly cost Allionce+/ his sight in one eye, the duo, undaunted, returned triumphantly to Albuquerque to claim a 1997 U.S. National Champion title in Informal Combination.

Allionce+/ The Cover Boy
Magazine Covers

The Arabian Horse World honored Allionce+/ by featuring him on the cover of it's June 1997 issue. Javan Schaller, a well known photographer in the Arabian world, and a small, but well organized group of assistants, made their way to the beach, where a beautifully done photo-shoot was set in motion. We were thrilled to have him grace the cover of one of our finest breed journals.
Minnesota Medallion Stallion Program
Allionce +/ and friend Melanie Ronen

Allionce+/ was welcomed into the prestigious Minnesota Medallion Stallion Program in 1997, making his foals eligible to compete for the huge price monies offered in their halter and performance classes. A unique feature of this program, is that it is for Amateurs only. We are pleased to have become a part of the program and are looking forward to the possibility of seeing some of Allionce's offspring compete there; to those that do... we wish you the best of luck.
