Product Information
Full details
The HKM Dressage Whip Lyon in green is designed for dressage riders who require a balance of precise communication and aesthetic appeal. It offers an excellent grip and a responsive, flexible shaft for subtle rider-to-horse cues, making it suitable for both daily training and competitive environments. However, riders who prefer heavy-weighted whips may find the lightweight, slender profile of the Lyon whip to be different from traditional styles, requiring a slight adjustment in handling technique.

FAQs
Is the HKM Dressage Whip Lyon competition legal?
Yes, it is designed for general dressage use; however, always check your specific federation's rulebook for current length and design regulations.
How long is this whip?
The Lyon model is designed to standard dressage whip specifications to ensure appropriate length for effective communication with the horse's side.
Can this be used for jumping?
This whip is specifically designed for dressage. Jumping bats are typically much shorter and have a broader end, so this model is not recommended for jumping.
What is the handle made of?
The handle is constructed from high-quality, durable materials designed for a secure, comfortable, and ergonomic grip.
How do I clean the green coating?
Use a soft cloth and, if necessary, a very mild soap solution. Never use harsh solvents or abrasive brushes as these can damage the finish.
Troubleshooting
Handle grip feels slippery
Wipe the grip with a slightly damp cloth to remove any accumulated grooming products or hand oils, then dry thoroughly.
Shaft seems stiff
Ensure the whip is stored at room temperature; extreme cold can temporarily decrease the natural flexibility of the materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Lyon dressage whip does not require any specialized setup; it is ready to use immediately. Compatibility is universal across standard dressage disciplines, and it pairs well with any standard dressage saddle and bridle configuration. To ensure the longevity of the whip, follow these care steps:
- Wipe the shaft down with a soft, damp cloth after every ride to remove arena dust or sweat.
- Clean the handle with a mild leather cleaner if applicable to maintain its grip.
- Store in a vertical position or laid flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the material from warping or fading.
- Avoid bending the shaft beyond its natural range of motion during storage.
