FAQs
Is the snakeskin material real?
No, it is a faux snakeskin finish designed to look and feel authentic without the use of animal products.
What is the total length of the whip?
The whip measures exactly 60cm from end to end.
Will the pattern be identical to the one pictured?
Because of the unique scale sizes and color tones in the faux skin, each whip has a slightly different pattern, making yours uniquely yours.
Can I use this for competition?
Yes, it is suitable for most schooling and club-level competitions, but always check your specific governing body's rules regarding whip length and style.
Is this whip suitable for children?
The 60cm length is generally appropriate for older children and adults, but you may find it slightly long for very small ponies or young riders.
Troubleshooting
Grip feels slippery after intense exercise
Wipe the grip with a slightly damp cloth to remove residual oils and let it air dry completely before the next use.
Shaft seems slightly bent after storage
Hang the whip vertically for 24-48 hours; the natural flexibility of the fibreglass will usually allow it to return to its original straight form.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Striking visual appeal with unique scale patterns
- Lightweight and well-balanced for comfortable use
- Flexible shaft provides effective, precise feedback
- Standard 60cm length is versatile for most riding disciplines
Cons
- Texture of the faux snakeskin may not be for everyone
- Limited to a single length option (60cm)
- Not suitable for heavy-duty professional showing in conservative classes
Setup, Compatibility & Care
This whip requires no complex setup; it is ready to use straight out of the packaging. To maintain the condition of the faux snakeskin and the integrity of the shaft:
- Cleaning: Wipe the grip down with a damp cloth after each ride to remove sweat or dirt.
- Storage: Hang the whip vertically or store it in a cool, dry place to prevent the fibreglass from warping over long periods of heat exposure.
- Inspection: Periodically check the flapper end for signs of fraying and ensure the end cap is securely in place to maintain proper balance.
