Riding Whips, Crops, & Over-Unders

Dressage whips help enhance communication between horse and rider while schooling or competing in the dressage arena. Typically ranging from 40 to 47 inches in length, they act as an extension of the rider's leg, allowing for subtle, precise cues without disrupting the rider's position. Dressage whips are generally thinner than riding crops and feature a flexible tail, known as a flick, at the end.

Popular in the hunter, jumper, and eventing disciplines, riding crops and bats are designed to encourage the horse to move forward and reinforce the rider's aids. Typically ranging from 16 to 27 inches in length, many feature wrist straps for a secure, comfortable grip while riding.

Designed for barrel racing and other speed events, over-and-under whips help encourage your horse to give one last burst of speed when it counts. These versatile training aids typically attach to the saddle horn for quick access, though many can also be worn on the rider's wrist for added convenience.

Find training whips for every stage of your horse's education at Riding Warehouse, including lunge whips, clinician sticks and whips, and training flags. Lunge whips are designed for use with a lunge line to encourage forward movement and reinforce cues from the ground. Clinician sticks and whips offer a shorter, more versatile design that's ideal for clinics, groundwork, and natural horsemanship exercises. Training flags are similar in size to clinician sticks but feature a fabric flag instead of a lash, creating sound and movement to help desensitize and build confidence in young or green horses.

Keep your crops and whips organized with whip holders designed for the tack room, trailer, or ringside area. For added comfort during summer rides, fly whisks help keep bugs away from sensitive areas your horse's tail can't reach.
