Hey guys! I'm currently doing lateral work, but what whip is best to use when practicing lateral work?

Hi debbsygirl! The most suitable option is the schooling / dressage whip. These are longer in length with a tassel on the end. This design enables the rider to keep their hands on the reins whilst using the whip on the rear or shoulder of the horse.

I always use a schooling whip, Makes life alot easier especially when you are trying to concentrate on you and the horse and not having to take your hands off when using a crop!
I found using a crop made me concentrate on that more than my riding so I swapped to a schooling whip and it is so much easier!! :thumbup:

What kind of lateral work are you doing? And is it for dressage or just general schooling?
