Equi-Sential Pony Ribbon Whip 22" Short Riding Whip
Description
Equi-Sential Pony Ribbon Whip - Short 22 Inch Whip for Ponies and Young Riders
The Equi-Sential Pony Ribbon Whip is a 22 inch short riding whip made for ponies, lead rein riders and young riders. Its compact length and ribbon-wrapped finish make it easy for smaller hands to hold, carry and swap between hands while riding, leading or working in-hand.
It is best for pony club lessons, riding school use and everyday yard work where a full-length schooling whip would be too long. This product is supplied with a minimum order of 5, which makes it a sensible choice for instructors and yards stocking up.

How to Use
- Hold the whip in the same hand as your rein, with the shaft resting across your thigh and pointing down and back.
- Apply the leg aid first and only use the whip as a light back-up behind the leg if the pony does not respond.
- To change hands, take both reins into one hand, lift the whip over the withers and pick the reins back up.
- Use a short, quiet movement of the wrist - the 22 inch length is not designed for long reaching actions.
- Check the shaft and end for cracks or fraying before each ride and replace the whip if damaged.

FAQ
What length is the Equi-Sential Pony Ribbon Whip?
It is 22 inches long, which is a short whip length suited to ponies and younger riders rather than a long dressage schooling whip.
Is this whip suitable for a lead rein rider?
Yes. The short length and light weight make it manageable for lead rein and first ridden riders who are still learning to carry a whip safely.
Can it be used on a horse rather than a pony?
It can be carried on a horse, but at 22 inches it is a short whip. Riders on larger horses who want to reach behind the leg without moving the hand usually prefer a longer schooling whip.
Why is there a minimum order of 5?
This item is supplied in a minimum quantity of 5 units, which suits riding schools, pony clubs and yards buying whips for shared or teaching use.
How do I care for the whip?
Wipe the shaft with a damp cloth, dry it naturally away from direct heat and store it hanging or flat so the shaft stays straight.
Is a whip allowed in competition?
Whip length and use are governed by the rules of each discipline and organisation, so always check the current rulebook for the class you are entering.
