BRAIDED LEATHER RIDIGN CROP

PRODUCT CODE-ZY2921         COLOUR-LONDON

A riding crop is a versatile horse whip type commonly used across various equestrian disciplines, particularly in general riding and training. Typically shorter than a dressage whip, but longer than a jumping bat, measuring between 80 and 90 centimetres, it features a straight flexible shaft with a handle on one end and a flexible tip, often made of leather, on the other.

The riding crop is used to provide subtle cues to the horse, reinforcing the rider’s leg aids and improving communication. Its lightweight design and moderate length allow for quick, precise signals without causing discomfort to the horse. The riding crop is a great all rounder and an essential tool for riders seeking to enhance control and responsiveness during everyday riding and training sessions.
