What is another word for riding whip?

Pronunciation: [ɹˈa͡ɪdɪŋ wˈɪp] (IPA)

A riding whip is an essential tool used in equestrian sports to communicate with the horse. However, the term "riding whip" is not the only synonym used in this context. "Crop" is a commonly used word for the shorter, lighter version of a whip. "Bat" refers to a shorter crop, used primarily for training. "Lash" refers specifically to the leather or synthetic material that extends from the handle of the whip or crop. "Switch" commonly refers to a thin, flexible rod used instead of a whip. Finally, "cane" is a term used for longer, more rigid riding whips primarily used in dressage competitions. Regardless of which term is used, it is important for riders to use their riding whip in a humane and responsible manner.

Famous quotes with Riding whip

  • Who shall call me ungentle, unfair, I long'd so heartily then and there To give him the grasp of fellowship; But while I past he was humming an air, Stopt, and then with a riding whip, Leisurely tapping a glossy boot, And curving a contumelious lip, Gorgonised me from head to foot With a stony British stare.
    Alfred
