How to Use
- Choose your length: shorter for ponies and smaller horses, longer for taller horses or extra reach.
- Hold the handle so your fingers settle naturally between the three bulbs.
- Slide your hand up or down the handle until the whip feels balanced in your contact.
- Carry the whip on the inside for schooling and change hands smoothly at the change of rein.
- Use light, brief aids behind the leg to back up your leg aid, never as a substitute for it.
- Wipe the shaft and grip clean after use and store hanging or flat so the shaft stays straight.

FAQ
What length should I choose?
Two lengths are available. The shorter length suits ponies, smaller horses and riders who prefer the whip to sit clear of the leg; the longer length suits taller horses and riders who want more reach without altering the rein contact.
Is the grip suitable for wet weather?
Yes. The rubber grip is designed to stay secure in both wet and dry conditions, which is useful in outdoor arenas and on winter hacks.
What are the three bulbs on the handle for?
They guide your fingers into a correct, consistent hand position and stop the whip slipping through the hand, so your contact stays steady.
Can I use this whip in competition?
Whip length and type rules differ between governing bodies and disciplines, and they change. Check the current rules for your discipline and level before competing.
How do I look after the whip?
Wipe the shaft and rubber grip after use and dry naturally away from direct heat. Store it hanging or laid flat, and replace it if the shaft bends or splits or the tip is damaged.
Is it suitable for in-hand and groundwork?
Yes. The long handle and secure grip make it easy to hold and reposition during in-hand work as well as ridden schooling.
