Some facts about our whips:
- Just as effective as traditional riding whips, the Lite-Touch whip actually makes a louder sound when used, encouraging the horse to respond.
- Approved by the Australian Racing Authority, the Ontario Racing Commission in Canada and several states in the US which require all jockeys to race with padded whips.
- Made with either a nylon or leather like popper, these whips are water resistant, durable and
made to withstand the rigors of race riding on turf, synthetic and dirt surfaces. Leather like popper in black only. Nylon popper ends come in electric blue, hunter green, black, red and navy blue.
- Available in 3 levels of flexibility: Stiff, medium and most flexible.
- Comes in standard lengths of 27" for Australian racing and 29-30" for US and Canada. Other custom lengths available upon request. Standard popper length is 7 inches. We also make 8¼ inch poppers for Australian racing.
- Shafts available in solid or two tone colors. Choose from black, brown, red, navy, royal blue, light blue, hunter green, gold, silver, copper, yellow, purple, lilac, light pink, bright pink and teal.
- Popper ends may be embroidered with the rider's name for an additional $15. (Not permitted on whips used in UK racing).
