The "Poulain" carries two effigies on its back, one male, one female, called "Estieinou" and "Estieinette" or "Estieineta" (sometimes spelled "Estiénon" and "Estiéneta" in the French manner), recalling another royal occasion when Louis XIII visited the town in 1622. A follower of the King, the Maréchal de Bassompierre, was crossing the river Peyne on horseback. He saw a peasant-woman attempting the crossing on foot and gallantly offered her a seat on his horse. The unlikely couple's arrival in the town caused great amusement and the two effigies were made to remember the event.
