Product Information
Full details
The KM Elite Silver Braided Whip is a 60cm riding tool specifically designed for kids and beginner riders looking to improve their training routine. It offers a perfect balance of durability and control through its signature silver braided finish and ergonomic handle, though its shorter length means it is best suited for focused training rather than competitive long-distance riding.

FAQs
Is this whip suitable for adults?
While it can be used by anyone, the 60cm length is specifically optimized for children and shorter riders.
Does the purple colour fade over time?
The materials are chosen for their durability, but consistent exposure to harsh, direct sunlight over many months may cause slight fading.
Can I use this for show jumping?
This whip is best suited for general training and flatwork. Always check your specific competition rules regarding whip length before entering an event.
What is the weight of the whip?
It is designed to be lightweight, specifically to ensure it is comfortable for young riders to hold throughout a training session.
How should I store it to maintain its shape?
It is best stored hanging vertically to prevent the shaft from taking on a permanent curve.
Troubleshooting
The grip feels slippery during use
Ensure the handle is free of grooming oils or moisture; wipe down with a clean, dry cloth before the start of the session.
The braid appears slightly frayed
Use a pair of sharp scissors to carefully trim any loose threads. Do not pull on the threads as this may unravel the braid.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No assembly is required for this product; it arrives ready for use. To keep the whip in top condition, follow these simple care steps:
- Cleaning: Wipe the braided shaft with a damp, soft cloth after every use to remove dirt and arena dust.
- Storage: Store the whip in a cool, dry place, ideally hung vertically to prevent the shaft from bending or warping.
- Inspection: Regularly check the loop and the tip of the whip for signs of fraying or wear.
- Compatibility: The whip is designed as a standalone training aid and is fully compatible with standard riding apparel and tack, including purple saddle pads or ear bonnets for a coordinated look.
