Jumping Whips

A Jumping Whips is a great tool for riders who want precision, good balance and clear communication with the horse. Jumping Whips should never be used not as punishment, but as an aid to encourage the horse, reinforce signals and guide it safely through both training and competition. When used correctly, a Jumping Whips can help strengthen the cooperation between rider and horse and create a more harmonious riding experience.

What is a Jumping Whips?

A Jumping Whips is typically between 50 and 70 cm long and designed to allow the rider to send clear signals without having to change position in the saddle. The light weight and good balance make it easy to react quickly, which is an advantage in both training and on the jumping course. The handle is often ergonomically designed so you can maintain a stable and comfortable grip during long training sessions and demanding jumping competitions.

Why use a Jumping Whips?

The Jumping Whips is primarily a communication tool between rider and horse. It is used to:

• Strengthen the signals from the legs and weight so the horse clearly understands your instructions.

• Encourage the horse to perform new exercises or overcome uncertainty when Jumping.

• Maintain pace and rhythm on the jumping course.

• Support the horse in different disciplines, but especially in both Jumping and technical riding.

Jumping Whips vs. Dressage Whips - what's the difference?

While both Jumping Whips and Dressage Whips are used to reinforce rider signals, they are designed for different disciplines and purposes. A Jumping Whips is shorter and lighter so the rider can quickly give a precise signal without losing balance, especially in the fast turns and jumps on the course. The short length also makes it easier to use the whip in one hand while the other hand controls the reins.

A Dressage whips, on the other hand, are longer and designed to reach the horse's hindquarters without the rider having to move the leg. Dressage whips are primarily used to guide the horse in precision work, while Jumping Whips are more of a tool for quick response and encouragement.
