Description
Equi-Sential Economy Whip - Simple 26" Braided Schooling Whip
The Equi-Sential Economy Whip is a 26 inch riding whip with a braided shaft and a leather wrist loop. It is best for riders who want an affordable, everyday schooling whip for flatwork, hacking and general yard use, or a reliable spare to keep in the lorry or tack locker.

How to Use
- Slip your hand through the leather wrist loop before mounting so the loop sits over your wrist.
- Hold the whip in the same hand as your rein, with the shaft lying across your thigh and pointing down and back.
- To change the whip to the other hand, bring both reins into one hand, draw the whip up and over in front of you, then take it in the opposite hand.
- Use the whip only as a light back-up to your leg aid, applied just behind your leg.
- After riding, wipe the shaft clean with a damp cloth and hang or lay the whip flat to store.
FAQ
How long is the Equi-Sential Economy Whip?
It measures 26 inches, which is a short riding whip length intended for use while mounted rather than a longer schooling or lunge whip.
Is a 26 inch whip the right length for me?
Whip length is a rider preference rather than a horse size question. A 26 inch whip is easy to carry and swap between hands, while riders who want more reach behind the leg often prefer a longer schooling whip.
What is the wrist loop for?
The leather wrist loop sits over your wrist and helps keep the whip with you if your grip loosens while adjusting your reins.
Can I use this whip in competition?
Whip rules differ between disciplines and governing bodies, and both length and type can be restricted. Check the current rulebook for your discipline before competing.
How do I care for the whip?
Wipe the shaft with a damp cloth and let it dry naturally away from direct heat. Store it hanging or flat so the shaft is not left bent, and replace it if it cracks, splits or takes a permanent bend.
