Horse Whips

A whip is a useful training aid that allows riders to reinforce leg aids and encourage forward movement, lateral work, or better engagement. The way you apply the whip, whether a light tap behind the leg or a touch on the shoulder, communicates different instructions to your horse.

Our current showjumping whip is the York Thin Handle Cushion Bat, which features a thin handle for an easy grip and a cushioned bat end. This whip is BSJA legal and is available in both 50cm and 66cm lengths, making it suitable for adult and junior riders alike.

When competing, your whip works alongside other essential equipment. Our spurs collection offers additional aids for refining leg cues, while a well fitted pair of riding gloves ensures a secure grip on both whip and reins. For showjumping, you might also want to browse our jumping girths and showjumping saddle pads to complete your competition setup.

Let us know if you have any questions about our horse whips and we will be more than happy to help.
