Using a Whip or Crop While Horseback Riding
Whips and riding crops are an iconic symbol of horse back riding, but considering
how they are sometimes used, it's almost a pity. A whip or riding crop can be a
useful tool if used wisely. Conversely, they can be instruments of torture if used in
anger or for coercion. There is definitely a right way and a wrong way to use these
artificial aids. Properly used, a whip is an extension of your arm or leg. If your horse
is trained to move forward in hand by a tap on the top of the haunch, this cue can
also be used while you are riding to reinforce your leg and seats aids. If your horse
is a bit lazy, like mine, just the presence of the whip is often enough to motivate
them to pay more attention to your cues. A few taps with the whip can be enough
to encourage a balky horse to move forward, or a hesitant horse to cross a bridge
or water crossing. A whip may also be used to encourage a horse to put more
effort into approaching a jump, or simply march straight through a field filled with
lush grass, rather than put its head down to steal mouthfuls as you ride.
Misusing Whips
If however, you find yourself using a whip to do more than tap your horse, you are
in danger of overusing the aid and making your horse either frightened or belligerent.
People who use whips to try to bully horses find they may compound the problem.
If the problem is something like getting a horse to cross a stream, hitting them with
a whip may make them even more anxious as the horse associates being hit with the
scary water crossing. We all like instant answers to our problems but hitting a horse
can be counterproductive. A horse should never be hit hard enough to leave any
mark on the skin or hair coat.
Using a Whip From the Ground
While on the ground you can use a whip to cue your horse to step forward and the
whip allows you to reach further back to tap the horse's haunch. A quick wave of
the whip in front of your horse's face can make a pushy horse halt and pay
attention quickly. Using a whip in this way allows you to keep a safe distance from
your horse and your hands safely on the lead line. For ground work, a long
dressage whip, team wand or 'carrot stick' is the easiest to work with. A whip is a
very useful aid when lunging and most of the cues you give will be through the
lunge whip. A lunge whip never touches the horse, but is popped or pointed,
depending on what you are asking your horse to do. Learn more about lunging
your horse.
Riding With a Whip
From the saddle, a whip reinforces your leg and seat aids. When a horse is a being
sluggish or hesitant, first apply natural aids—legs, seat and hands to ask it to move
on. If you sense the horse is not taking the cue seriously, tap lightly asking the
horse to 'wake up'. This needs to be done instantaneously, so the horse connects
the action of the whip with the leg and seat aids. The tap needs to go behind your
leg, and that's one reason why dressage whips are longer than riding crops. Crops
are a bit shorter and they are used to tap the shoulder of a horse, rather than
reach behind the rider's leg. To tap further back requires the rider hold the reins
in one hand, while using the other to reach around behind the rider's leg or the
horse's haunches. Whips or crops used in schooling a horse can be held on either
side, depending on which leg you wish to re-enforce. If your horse has a habit of
spooking, you may wish to carry a whip on the side it spooks to, to remind it to
stay straight. Always remember to use your leg and seat aids first however, event
to correct a spook. It is very easy to rely on artificial aids such as whips without
learning how to properly use natural aids. In the show ring, there is a right and
wrong side to carry a whip, so check the show rules for your particular discipline.
How to Hold a Whip
To hold a whip properly while riding, the handle of the whip goes across your palm,
with the button end up. This way, it will be parallel with the rein you are holding.
If there is a loop on the handle, slide this over your hand as far as your knuckles.
This is so the whip or crop while not slide downwards as you ride. You don't want to
slide the loop around your wrist, because should you fall off, your wrist will be held
against the whip, which is potentially injurious. You're better to let go of the whip when
you fall. Dressage whips often have a large button on top that prevents them from
sliding out of your hand. If it doesn't, it can be helpful to wrap a 'donut' of tape around
the top. You may find it most comfortable and balanced if you hold the whip a few
inches down the handle, rather than right against the top. The whip then laysacross
your thigh, ready to reinforce your leg aid.
