HORSE JUMPING WHIPS

PRODUCT CODE-ZY2920            COLOUR-LONDON

A jumping bat, also known as a jumping whip, is a shorter, sturdier whip used primarily in the discipline of show jumping and the cross country section of Eventing competitions. Typically around 50 to 70 centimetres in length, it features a wide, flat end known as a “bat” or “flapper.”

The jumping bat is used to encourage the horse to clear obstacles more effectively, providing gentle reinforcement during training and competition. Its design allows the rider to give quick, precise signals without distracting the horse or compromising their position. The jumping bat is an essential tool for riders looking to enhance their horse’s performance over jumps, ensuring better control and responsiveness.
