Loro Piana Tomboy: pure power!

[FuckYourTeddybear]

i've been showjumping for about 12 years now,

And now i also started to train horses,

I think this horses is so hard to ride! ö

But he is still great though!

Oh dear lord ive never seen anything like this is the horse world! Ha! Where does all this power come from!? I have a friend with an old border collie that could use his rear that way. Jumping never ceases to amaze me!

@KIBAfang90

I'm the only one on YouTube who has any video of him at all.

It's somewhere, I'd just have to sort through a ton of old dusty VHSs bit by bit to find it.... which is the main reason it hasn't been posted yet! ;)

[KIBAfang90]

I wonder why. Hes so amazing, im surprised hes not all over the videos! Oh i see! Thats a pain. Though i usualy keep my vhss dusted off! haha (Im just teasing! No need to get all upset!) Ill help you search for the tape if you need any help! haha

@KIBAfang90

Probably because his career was so short.  Had he gone on to have more time with Rodrigo (the only one who could handle him at the FEI levels) in top competitions, I truly believe he'd be remembered in the same breath as the likes of Gem/Milton/Ben/Jappeloup.

[KIBAfang90]

Oh yeah. With that jumping style! Though i wouldnt ask me...i train dog agility. Nothing like horse showjumping. Though agility was created from showjumping.

@KIBAfang90

Then if you like my Tomboy videos, you should check out some of the "bunny showjumping" videos on this site... they can even put the horses to shame!

[KIBAfang90]

Hahaha very funny. Are you making fun of me?

[ImmortalSynn]

@KIBAfang90

No, being quite serious. Some of the bunny showjumping vids here are amazing!

You should also check out the mule jumping videos. No rider, but these mules are jumping fences 5ft high or higher, and they have to do it from a standstill! No momentum! That takes SCOPE!

[KIBAfang90]

Im tempted to watch the mules, but a bunny jumping? Anyways im making a progress report video on my dog's training. :)

i love htis horse! i subbed xx

[ImmortalSynn]

He truly was something extraordinary to the showjumping world.

...I truly believe that, had his career not been so short, he would've went on to be mentioned in the same breath as Gem Twist & Milton, whenever the true greats were spoken of!

[ariat627]

this horse jumps amazingg if he ever hits a rail its the riders fault lol

[AdrenalineArt]

They say showjumping horses have to have that natural 'tuck up' of the legs, getting them out the way, but this guy gets up so much height he can just dangle all he wants! :D I love this guy, what a fantastic unique horse. Isnt it great when you get the top horses with quirks? Fantastic vid as usual :-) x 5*s

[KIBAfang90]

I know! Unique is not stong enough of a word! This horse is amazing!

[ImmortalSynn]

@KIBAfang90

Indeed. I have a few more clips of him that i can add, but I'm looking for the holy grail: where he jumped nearly 7ft to claim the N.American 6Bar record, that still stands today. He didn't even bother to pull up/tuck his legs over THAT! ...and still cleared it with ridiculous ease!

[Babygirl3133]

thankss for uploadin this. like i said...back legs...jesusss

[ImmortalSynn]

No prob.

You're right... it's so easy to just focus on his front, that a lot of people tend to miss just how explosive his rear end actually is. You can see it best over the first element in the triple.
