Equi-Sential Star Whip 25" Riding & Schooling Whip
Description
Equi-Sential Star Whip - Compact 25 Inch Riding Whip for Everyday Schooling
The Equi-Sential Star Whip is a 25 inch riding whip used as a quiet backup to the rider's leg aid during schooling, flatwork, lessons and hacking. It is best for riders who want a short, manageable whip that is easy to carry in the saddle, and for yards and riding schools that need reliable spares - the whip is supplied with a minimum order quantity of five.
At 25 inches it sits between a short jumping bat and a long dressage schooling whip, making it a versatile middle-ground choice for general riding rather than a discipline-specific tool. Browse more whips and spurs to compare lengths.

How to Use
- Hold the whip in the same hand as the rein, with the shaft resting across your thigh and pointing down towards the horse's flank.
- Ask with your leg first - the whip is a backup aid, never a replacement for the leg.
- If the horse does not respond, apply a light tap just behind your lower leg, then release and reward the correct response.
- To change the whip to the other hand, bring both reins into one hand and lift the whip over the withers in a smooth, quiet movement.
- After riding, wipe the shaft clean with a damp cloth and dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Store hanging or laid flat, and replace the whip if the shaft cracks, bends or splits.

This item is supplied in multiples of five, which suits yards, riding schools and stockists who need several whips for shared or lesson use.
