Loro Piana Tomboy VI was a horse ridden by Rodrigo Pessoa in international Show Jumping. This extremely powerful grand prix showjumper was world famous for his unusual jumping style, which saw him loosely dangle his front legs while jumping, thus necessitating that he clear the obstacles with several feet of extra "air".
