Setup, Compatibility & Care
This dressage whip is ready for immediate use out of the box. To maintain the product's condition, wipe the fiberglass shaft with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove dust or horse hair. When cleaning the handle and crystal-embedded cap, use only a slightly damp, lint-free cloth; avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges, which can cloud the crystals or damage the engraved finish. Store the whip in a vertical position or laid flat in a cool, dry environment to prevent the shaft from warping or excessive stress on the handle attachment.
