The incalculably powerful Loro Piana Tomboy VI secures the first ever Olympic medal in Equestrian for the nation of Brazil.
Also, in a heartbreaker of a round that can be seen in the following link; this magnificent horse also went clear in the final individual round of the competition, but missed the jumpoff for the medals by a single second (time fault):
• Loro Piana Tomboy: hea...
This horse's characteristic "dangling", and thus his need to add impressive amounts of "air" between himself and the fences to ensure clearance for his front legs-- have earned for him, by many, the title of "World's Most Powerful ShowJumper"...
...don't believe it? Then watch the jump at 01:06, that's a 6ft-wide oxer!
Clip shown is of 2nd-round of team competition, Atlanta summer games, 1996. Video courtesy of Premier Horse Network, and the National Broadcasting Company Inc.

@12345KATETHEGREAT 10 лет назад

wow, he has such an unigue jumping style!

@pepsitang8746 7 лет назад

Anyone notice the horse is in a hackamore? ;)

@martinatscherner6861 6 лет назад

PepsiTanG yup 😀

@maddiefaith1417 9 лет назад

I love how the rider didn't try to catch the horses mouth,and also gave him some rein. 😋

@lucathecob3194 7 лет назад

beautiful style and is he using a hackamore? if so that man has my respect

@martinatscherner6861 6 лет назад

LucaTheCob yes, a hackamore 😀

@irisgrune1120 10 лет назад

He is not jumping, he is flying!

@ImmortalSynn 16 лет назад

"I've never seen this horse jump before." ...it was truly a sight to behold. The most amazing thing I've ever seen in the equestrian world, was when he won the Alberta Power 6-Bar at Spruce Meadows. He jumped 6'9" in the final round for the win, and cleared it by a mile! What makes it so incredible, is that in a 6-Bar, you only get TWO strides to the final jump.

@hattiemaex4077 8 лет назад

All I can say is that this horse is beautiful... The flow of his canter into the rise of the jump and the balanced landing says it all. This horse knows what it's doing.. Great vid! Great horse!

@user-fo3hj2ep9n 10 лет назад

I wonder how many times he's fallen off this Tomboy, looking at the horse it surely got some temper :)

@sethdelano6033 9 лет назад

Pinned ears don't always mean that they are mad.

@KaregoAt 8 лет назад

+Seth Delano His ears aren't even pinned? They're turned back = he focuses on the rider.

@ImmortalSynn 15 лет назад

You might've, had you seen just how much most of the other horses struggled with some fences. To see the sheer power/scope this horse was capable of just NEVER got old.

@rgolivieri9969 6 лет назад

I remember jumping my horse after doing a few months of straight dressage with her, and she was very similar to this. I had built up so much strength in her hind end, that we both underestimated how much spring she had. Rather than springing up, however, she sprung forwards. We landed a good meter farther than where I estimated, and it threw off my stride count >.

@just_a_waterbottle6827 6 лет назад

No joke my jaw dropped for this video, I have never seen any horse jump so... perfectly

@ImmortalSynn 11 лет назад

Indeed, he's amazing. And still alive, 17yrs later! (he was 14 when this was filmed)

@GucciGang-lj3xm 8 лет назад

At first I thought that he would fault at combos seeing that momentum that goes into one jump. But woah that horse can fly...

@ImmortalSynn 11 лет назад

Hmm, never really seen Tomboy be accused of having style, lol.... but he's certainly got the scope!

@ImmortalSynn 15 лет назад

Indeed, Rodrigo was really about the only one who could sit Tomboy's jump and keep it together with him sufficiently to excel at the FEI level. His past riders had a lot of difficulty with that.

@threexcaravans 15 лет назад

I've never seen a horse jump like that! Leaves so much clearance. Amazing :)

@109367 10 лет назад

Very unorthodox, never seen a horse jump like that xD interesting

@sarahk1965 7 лет назад

What a great horse!!! Look at that spring!

@sincerelyalina 7 лет назад

sar ko *Jump

@sarahk1965 7 лет назад

Winter Star No, I meant the spring in his jump. He wasn't just lumbering over a couple of jumps, he was putting his heart into it, and enjoying it!

@sincerelyalina 7 лет назад

sar ko Okay i'm so sorry! 😅😅

@sarahk1965 7 лет назад

Winter Star No worries!☺

@luluvlogs2471 7 лет назад

The strength of the horses jump, Wow.

@ImmortalSynn 14 лет назад

Indeed, he certainly is gorgeous... I was always so impressed by how amazingly "full" of a tail he has!

@ImmortalSynn 12 лет назад

...he really is amazing, and he's both still alive today and still the N.America 6bar record holder, 16yrs later!

@pinkweaselgirl 15 лет назад

as the announcer said, tomboy does have a very unique style...i think it looks hard to ride but it definately puts tomboy higher in the air and lets him get his legs out of the way...well done rodrigo! beautiful round

@ImmortalSynn 15 лет назад

...he wasn't "taught" to do that, its mostly thought to stem from his youth injury. Anyways, he retired more than 10yrs ago.

@ImmortalSynn 16 лет назад

Dunno about mounting, but as Mary states here, it's very difficult to stay with him on the landing side of a fence... his past riders had significant trouble with it, but Rodrigo was able to figure it out. And it was this horse that really began to put Rodrigo on the map on a worldwide stage-- before Lianos, before Baloubet.

@ImmortalSynn 14 лет назад

@Christiex2 "wow he's beautiful." Isn't he though?! Such a unique and amazing jumper!

@ah1998 14 лет назад

WOW. freakshow! amazing horse...imagine how high the jumps would have to be to get him to fold those legs in!

@lillianrogers8208 12 лет назад

This horse is purely wonderful.

@jessyandjake 13 лет назад

Ha ha .. I remember him so well.. massive jump, dodgy technique and his ears pinned back all the way.What a horse, I wouldnt have sat it over a cross pole! The pessoas are great trainers but would not be forcefull so if tomboy hadnt of wanted to jump.... he wouldnt have. And the riding was spot on .. as usual!

@ElessarEquestrian 9 лет назад

and he's bitless!!! LOVE it!

@laurelcook9078 8 лет назад

All of us show jumpers have the struggle of releasing and sitting back up when the front end of the horse begins its decent.

@xxHappyHoneyxx 10 лет назад

der überspringt ja mal so krass ... ob das wirklich so wünschenswert ist?

@dclogojan 9 лет назад

Wow. That's quite impressive (: the horse was pretty eager and frustrated during the whole thing ((;

@kingforagreenday5872 6 лет назад

and using a hackamore amazing!

@GoLightly01100 12 лет назад

They were always such fun to watch, Tomboy attacked his fences ferociously. What an amazing partnership. Thanks for posting, and Merry Christmas!

@ImmortalSynn 15 лет назад

Well, on a related note... he does hold the N.American 6Bar-record. I remember seeing him schooling for it: he was clearing 6'9", and still hanging his legs over that. It was friggin' INCREDIBLE!

@whiskerstea 14 лет назад

Oh wow, this is that horse... he is freakin... BEAUTIFUL over the jumps. Little angry looking but I think that's the majesty to it. Very beautiful.

@EquestrianFool 11 лет назад

That is craaaaazy! What a horse!!

@Sniffysmyboy 15 лет назад

Its almost like a stag jump! I'm watching the hind end the whole time, its amazing!

@mckennarules9 14 лет назад

the rider is young yet great! and the horse is beautiful and talented - not even bucking or refusing!

@ImmortalSynn 14 лет назад

...indeed. And even then, the only time he ever *has* to, is when he gets himself in too deep of a spot. Height never forces him to tuck: as mentioned before, he jumped 6'9" to win the Alberta Power 6Bar, and he didn't even bother to tuck his legs over that! Was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen in showjumping, and I'm trying like hell to find that tape so I can post it. I have trillions, lol

@HorseSensation 14 лет назад

I love jumping!! This years WEG is going to be awesome!!

@ibsunnysha 13 лет назад

Tomboy will always be one of the horse's remembered...Such power! And this was a great ride!

@ImmortalSynn 14 лет назад

@mckennarules9 Tomboy, no... though interestingly enough, I *do* have a video of Rio Grande doing that. When Tomboy set the North American 6Bar record, by jumping 6'9" with only two strides worth of momentum (a tied record that still stands today!)... Nancy Southern later asked Rodrigo if he was nervous about attempting that. He answered "No. Well, a little bit, but I've trotted him over 5ft several times, so I knew he could do it."

@ImmortalSynn 14 лет назад

@dreamernsaihung Who knows. The highest I've ever seen him jump was 6'9" in competition, to win the Alberta Power 6Bar.

@ImmortalSynn 14 лет назад

@cocomango5189 Tomboy did sometimes run afoul of time faults, as you can clearly see in his "heartbreak" video, where he missed the jumpoff for the Olympic medals by 1/4th of a second. However, he also had an ENORMOUS stride, and that really helped. It was very deceiving: he looks like he's just ambling along for a canter in the countryside, but he actually covered a tremendous amount of ground... which served to mitigate the time lost by his big jump.

@DJDangersJessiJane 12 лет назад

I wish I had been old enough to see this on the tv when it first came out. I would have been hitting the floor with my jaw at that horse's powerful jump! Incredible!

@ajpebbles 15 лет назад

I was just trying to find that clip. it was over the double liverpool oxers at the entrance to the intl' ring. He put his legs through both oxers and Rodrigo was riding so hard and they somehow managed to come out clean. It was amazing! Sprucemeadows did this thing on FSN about Rodrigo and if I remember correctly the horse actually broke something in his withers. It was a pretty catastrophic injury

@skipsrose 14 лет назад

This video brings back good memories. I was there that day and Brazil had their own little cheering section and they were so excited. They were a few rows behind me.

@ImmortalSynn 15 лет назад

When I heard about Gem Twist being cloned, immediately my thoughts went to Tomboy... I always wondered what it'd be like to raise a Tomboy clone... particularly seeing how that horse would jump, seeing as it wouldn't have suffered Tomboy's original injury.

@ImmortalSynn 15 лет назад

as a colt, he fell down a hill and hurt his back... he made a full physical recovery, but psychologically, it made him reluctant to use it... which is part of the reason he jumps so flatly, and chooses to utilize his raw power over efficient form, to clear obstacles-- though, he's proven several times that he can round out quite nicely, when he wants to.

@ImmortalSynn 16 лет назад

Every now and then you'll see one that does it... not quite to this level, but close. One that immediately pops to mind was It's Otto, ridden by Geoff Billington. That horse ~soared~ above every fence, and in fact competed in these same Olympics-- making it all the way to the jumpoff.

@daanzluvdeg 7 лет назад

Lol looking pissed makes me think of a pony at our stable's, when she jumps she looks exactly like this horse but she is concentrated at that moment and only thinks of jumping :D

@luluvlogs2471 7 лет назад

daanzluvdeg They aint angry, their listening to their owner

@ImmortalSynn 16 лет назад

...incredibly well-said. Thank you.

@EquineLover123 15 лет назад

holy crap, He doesnt even come CLOSE to touching the jumps O.O OMG,.....! these guys are friggen ridiculous!! *jaw drops*

@queenoftartan 16 лет назад

I've never seen this horse jump before. That's such an unusual jumping style, I really wasn't expecting that as they approached the first jump. Great round!

@baaiegooed 16 лет назад

What a fabulous animal! Horses at this level *are* freaks- and they do it because they are athletes and they love the game. You can't get that kind of performance at that height and level without willingness, and it obviously took someone as amazingly talented as RP to figure out how to ride that successfully. People like to show how much they know by critiquing, but there kind of isn't anything to criticize here. Watch clips of RP on Baloubet- also an incredibly hard ride, but what a team!

@ImmortalSynn 14 лет назад

Maximum height: 5'3" Maximum spread: 6'6"

@SparkyArtz 13 лет назад

Good God that horse is a beast with invisible wings!

@riminiiipartygirl 15 лет назад

i swear...this horse is out of controllll!!! amazing really!!! thank uuuu

@ImmortalSynn 14 лет назад

...that'd be the understatement of the century.

@user-wc4xm5jo5d 7 лет назад

This horse is just incredible to watch. His jumping style makes it look like he's literally flying!

@MyBeautifulAnthony 13 лет назад

i love the design of the course

@jen4dougie4eva 14 лет назад

'I've trotted him over 5ft a couple times' Of course, as you do!! And to think Rodrigo was a young rider when he did this, looking at riders these days I'm not sure how many of them would be able to ride this horse and keep their equitation. Beautiful!

@ImmortalSynn 15 лет назад

...if that's the case, then you'll LOVE the next one of him I plan to put up. He kicks his legs out HARD in the middle of a triple combination, just explosively. Very cool to see.

@WarHorse16 14 лет назад

Now that is an impressive horse! Looking at his build, I was pretty sceptical at first, but there's no denying that Tomboy is a true powerhouse! A well deserved placing. :)

@FromWishingDreams 13 лет назад

Good god! That horse is a beast!

@2101lovelilly 13 лет назад

props to rodrigo for even staying on i rode a horse who like to jump like this but over small jumps (50cm) and i almost fall off, but this high Rodrigo definetley has some skill

@hollypalmer95 14 лет назад

that horse is absolutely amazing!!!! and that course is huge! its so long!

@HannahK126 13 лет назад

wow!!! imagin havein a go on tht beast hes absaloutly stunning done the job AMAZINGLY. Must of came off the best 2 horses and had the best trainer in the world to come out with a result like that!!!! Amazed!!!

@ImmortalSynn 14 лет назад

@HorseSensation Agree 100%. And according to Horse Illustrated, it's supposed to have an unusually high amount of TV coverage from mainstream networks... which would certainly be new and refreshing, for non-racing horse sports!

@alayasugata6279 9 лет назад

ok, how many people noticed the horses form jumping, and how many notoced the horses pinned ears?

@XxhorsesAmandaxX 9 лет назад

i noticed that too...

@DAYBREAKandFREEDOM 9 лет назад

yeah it does look like he isent enjoying himself, but this horse just has his ears back out of concentration. he loves his job and his rider.

@caitlynlochore9486 9 лет назад

He definitely didn't look happy... most horses would have thier ears forward because tey love thier job. This can certainly jump but he didn't look like he wanted to

@DAYBREAKandFREEDOM 9 лет назад

not all horses keep their ears forward. i have one that absoutely loves jumping, always gets very excited when she sees the jumps in the arena, but jumps with her ears back. its just her typical face. please dont comment on a horse u dont personally know. thanks

@alayasugata6279 9 лет назад

wow! you know Loro Piana Tomboy? that's awesome!

@lizamads1 11 лет назад

amazing round right there.

@ImmortalSynn 14 лет назад

Also, FYI for those who may not know... Coevers is L.P.Tomboy's sire.

@8Happy81 11 лет назад

INSANE horse!

@blackmagic1234567891 16 лет назад

his ears are flat against his head. glad to see he does not take out his distate on his jumping!

@DayAtThePegsusCentre 11 лет назад

Wow, such a lovely scope and jump. Clearing those jumps in style.

@AdrenalineArt 15 лет назад

I would have loved to see this horse in a puissance competition just to see how small he could make it look ;) I love how the crowd gasps at #1 haha xx

@FancySassy80 14 лет назад

just wow.. wow.. what a great horse.

@ImmortalSynn 14 лет назад

...thing is, I've never SEEN such a time. As I've said many times before, this horse holds the North American 6Bar record, by jumping 6'9" (2.06m) in the Alberta Power 6Bar.... and he didn't even bother tucking over THAT!

@SilverSky333 11 лет назад

I want to laugh every time he jumps... I've never seen a horse jump like that. It's so weird, but I can see the power!

@MsDovima 13 лет назад

My God! This horse is Pegasus!

@Jezzie2062 15 лет назад

Wow he is amazing! ive never seen a horse jump like that before, absolut amazing. thanks

@Ragrobsz5643 16 лет назад

does that horse EVER knock a rail hes amazing he clears everything by a mile

@ImmortalSynn 14 лет назад

@4evadressage Could be any number of reasons, though I'd suspect he's just the type of horse who pins at you whenever you apply any manner of leg/hand aids. I'd also be willing to bet it's more the latter than the former, as he used to be even more finicky when Rodrigo used to ride him with a bit instead of a hackamore.

@Dunreiner 16 лет назад

Holy cow!! That horse has some major power!!

@margaretchapman276 6 лет назад

That first jump is HUGE!

@TwoPointProductions 15 лет назад

lol i will....his jump is sooo interesting! its wow! that takes some skill on the riders half for sure! so amazing how he manages to stay clean!

@10851142 15 лет назад

pessoa is my idol...no more words..ive got a pessoa saddle too amd i aspire for being the next sensation..jeje, im not being cocky...im from honduras and made it to the honduran national team...and now im in usa...maybe this spring i will go into brown's equestrian team and see what they can offer me

@ImmortalSynn 13 лет назад

@SparkleGrl123 It's an optical illusion. 1) he's not movingly slowly at all. Again, this horse has an *enormous* stride: he's moving faster than the average horse just based on the amount of ground he covers with each step he takes. 2) he tends to lunge the jumps a bit, Rodrigo has to work to keep his front end off the fences. That's what you're seeing, not necessarily speed.

@sydneydelledonne9747 6 лет назад

Wonderful!

@ImmortalSynn 16 лет назад

...indeed. I'm trying like heck to find the tape of him winning the Alberta Power 6-Bar, so I can post it here. He jumped 6ft 9inches, after clearing several smaller fences in front of it, for the win. He cleared the final jump in his usual fashion: plenty of air!

@ImmortalSynn 14 лет назад

@Poll798Cp Of course, but Rodrigo's something of the exception: he was routinely competing in grands prix by age 14, and rode in his first Olympics (1992) at age 19. He was the youngest (equestrian) competitor that year. Interestingly enough, his father was the oldest that year too. :)

@EquestrianPride16 15 лет назад

Wow. He's incredible.

@Steffiklein 13 лет назад

THIS horse is special! :O

@salty246 14 лет назад

wowii,that horse jumps huge!

@Simplyblissfull 15 лет назад

The announcer is definetly right... he leaves his front legs loose and in turn uses power to clear the jumps, instead of the regular tucked and neat form.

@ImmortalSynn 14 лет назад

@KarleneAnnxoxo13 He's registered as an ISH, even though he's 3/4 TB.

@Lemonnyx 14 лет назад

its the fact that in showjumping u want speed as well as jumping high. Tomboy is very scopey which means he spends a lot of time in the air, taking up valuable time he also does not keep his front end as tight as it really should be.

@ImmortalSynn 13 лет назад

@Ingridoganette The heights are at FEI maxima: Verticals are 1.60m (5ft 3in). Oxers are same height, with a spread up to 2.0m (6ft 6in).
