Equi-Sential C1 Braided 26" Riding Whip with Wrist Loop
Description
Equi-Sential C1 Whip - Braided 26 Inch Riding Whip with Wrist Loop
The Equi-Sential C1 Whip is a 26 inch braided riding whip fitted with a wrist loop, sold in a minimum order of five. It is best for riders who want a short, everyday whip for flatwork, lessons and hacking, and for riding schools or yards that need several whips at once.
At 26 inches it sits in the short whip category rather than the longer dressage or schooling length, so it is quick to swap between hands and easy to carry without catching on the saddle. The braided shaft gives a tidy, consistent finish and the wrist loop keeps the whip to hand while you adjust your reins.

How to Use
- Carry the whip in the hand on the inside of the school or on the side where you want additional support from the leg aid.
- Slide your hand through the wrist loop so the whip stays with you if your grip loosens.
- Hold the whip so it lies across your thigh, angled down and away from the horse's shoulder.
- Use the whip quietly as a back-up to the leg, applying it just behind your lower leg immediately after the leg aid.
- To change hands, take both reins into one hand and draw the whip over the withers, keeping the contact steady.
- Wipe the shaft clean after use and store hanging or flat so it keeps its shape.
FAQ
How long is the Equi-Sential C1 Whip?
It is 26 inches long, which places it in the short whip category rather than the longer dressage or schooling whip lengths.
Is this a jumping whip or a dressage whip?
At 26 inches it is a short whip, so it is typically used for general ridden work, jumping and hacking. Dressage whips are usually considerably longer.
Do I have to buy more than one?
Yes - this whip is supplied with a minimum order of five, which makes it well suited to riding schools, training yards and instructors who need spares.
What does the wrist loop do?
The wrist loop sits over your hand and helps stop the whip being dropped if your grip loosens while riding or when you shorten your reins.
Can I use this whip in competition?
Whip length and use are governed by the rules of each discipline and governing body, and these are updated from time to time. Check the current rules for your class before competing.
How should I look after it?
Wipe the shaft clean after use, dry it naturally away from direct heat and store it hanging or laid flat. Replace the whip if the shaft, keeper or wrist loop becomes damaged.
