The proverbial pig that flies is not recorded in English until the 17th century.  Medieval pigs (swin) are associated with lechery, as in
Man..is hardy as a lyon..leccherus as a sqwyne, malycious as an owle.

And, no, I've never thought of owls as particularly malicious either ???

Hinchliffe certainly did a suitable figure in their X range but most of that range is no longer available. However, they were smaller 25mm, so, even if found, they wouldn't fit with modern 28mm.  I'm not aware of other Hinchliffe cavalry that would fit the bill, unfortunately, which is a shame because they tend to be available from Lancashire Games.
