LeMieux Legrip Counter Balanced Schooling Whip
Description
LeMieux Legrip Schooling Whip - Ultra Light Polycarbon Shaft
The LeMieux Legrip Schooling Whip is a lightweight horse riding whip with a Polycarbon shaft, a finished metal cap and a counter balanced soft PU grip handle. It is made for riders who want a precise, well-balanced schooling whip for flatwork, transitions and lateral work, whether at home in the arena or in a lesson.
Best for dressage riders and everyday schooling sessions where a quiet, supporting aid matters more than length or weight. The counter balanced handle shifts the feel towards the hand, so the whip stays comfortable to hold and easy to control when you change the rein or swap hands.

How to Use
- Hold the whip in the hand with the grip resting comfortably against the palm, the shaft lying across your thigh.
- Keep your rein contact unchanged - the counter balanced handle means you should not need to grip harder to hold it steady.
- Use a light tap behind the leg to support a leg aid the horse has ignored, then reward the correct response.
- To change hands, take both reins in one hand, draw the whip through and settle it on the other side before picking the rein back up.
- Wipe the shaft and grip clean after use and store the whip hanging or flat so the shaft keeps its shape.

FAQ
What is a schooling whip used for?
A schooling whip is a longer whip used on the flat to reinforce the leg aid without the rider taking a hand off the rein. It is a supporting aid, used alongside correct leg and seat rather than instead of them.
What is the Legrip whip made from?
The shaft is Polycarbon, the handle is a counter balanced soft PU grip, and the shaft is finished with a metal cap.
What does counter balanced mean on a whip?
It means the weight is distributed towards the handle rather than the tip. The whip feels lighter and steadier in the hand, which gives superior balance and handling during schooling.
How do I clean the LeMieux Legrip Schooling Whip?
Wipe clean only. Do not soak it or machine wash it, and let it dry naturally away from direct heat.
Can I use this whip in competition?
Whip length and type rules vary by discipline and governing body. Always check the current rules for your class before you compete.
When should I replace a schooling whip?
Replace it if the shaft becomes cracked, bent or splintered, or if the grip or metal cap works loose.
