One specialist maker, plus a value option
Fleck anchors the page. Whips are the German maker's trade rather than a sideline, and the range here runs from carbon jump and dressage whips through woven nylon jump whips to a flexible lunge whip and a jockey racebat. Alongside them sit Equijump Ltd's own-brand riding whips, the plain-and-serviceable end of the page for a spare whip or a first one.
Choosing by job, then by feel
Jumping whips are short and balanced for a quick, quiet aid; the handled jump whip is the schooling standby and the woven nylon version does the same job in a harder-wearing weave. Dressage whips carry their length so the aid can reach behind the leg without the hand moving; Fleck offers carbon and handled patterns. The lunge whip is there to frame the circle, not to chase, and the racebat is the short whip made for race riding and fast work. Between two whips that do the same job, the deciding factors are weight and balance in the hand and how hard a life the whip will lead.
If you ride with one every day
A whip that lives by the arena gate earns its keep more than most tack. Store it hanging or flat rather than propped on its tip, and it will hold its balance for years. Not sure which length suits? Describe the horse and the work to info@equijumpltd.com and we will give you a plain answer.
