Girlfriend rides with a whip?
What does she do to her horse with it and doesn't it hurt him?
Whip length (free work, ground work, walking, etc.)?
Hi, I'd like to get a riding crop for my pb, soon-to-be rb. Unfortunately, the owner only has a short riding crop, but I need a longer one for tricks, etc. What length do you recommend? 100cm, 110cm, or 120cm? You can also tell me if you have a particularly good model, but I wanted…
Riding while on your period?
Hey, do you still sit in the saddle when you have your period or how do you deal with it?
Can the whip still be used?
A piece of the handle of the whip has broken off, but otherwise the whip is completely stable. Is the broken part serious, and can the whip still be used?
Snow ride?
Have you ever ridden in the snow and how was it for you?
What is right now in equestrian sports?
I've heard, read, and seen a lot, but I just don't really understand it. For example, if I lightly touch a horse with the whip where you urge the horse/pony on, it will respond. So I was wondering if it's called tapping, and you have to "tap" it in such a way that you can…
Riding a horse without a whip?
I have a RB on an Isi. He doesn't need a whip in the countryside, but he does in riding lessons, for example. Otherwise, he simply runs too slowly and has trouble with volts (runs slowly, doesn't position/bend properly). I have no idea why the whip has a positive effect on volts. My question now…
Touching with a whip doesn't work – tips or alternatives?
Hello there, I've had my own horse for a year now.

Where do you put the whip before riding?
Hellooo I have been riding at a holiday farm in Goch for three years now and joined the advanced riders on the last day of this year. Before the riding lessons we lead the ponies/horses around Pudding (which is a round patch of grass that we walk around) until everyone is sitting on their respective…
How do you motivate a lazy horse?
The question is actually already above, it doesn't matter whether you're riding, lunging or ground work. What's the best thing to do? I don't always have to use my legs and whip to drive him, because I don't want him to become numb. I look forward to many answers 🙂
Hitting a horse with a whip?
If a pony keeps changing direction on the riding arena, my riding instructor always tells the girl (under 10) I'm riding with to hit him. I'm supposed to hit the horse I'm riding on the butt with the whip if it doesn't canter after I've tried everything. The girl tells me this, too (the horse…
Get a slow horse fast?
Hi, I've been riding horses for a few weeks that I took in from another farm. But they're just so slow that no amount of leg or whip can help. My riding instructor isn't doing anything. Can anyone help me figure out how to get them up and running quickly? Thanks in advance.🙂🙃
