Lunge Whip: your aid on the lunge
When lungeing, the lunge whip takes over the role of the driving leg. It shows your horse the way around the circle and supports your voice without you having to touch the horse. We stock one piece and take apart lunge whips, telescopic models with a shaped or golf style handle, fibreglass bow topped whips, a vaulting whip and a driving whip with a leather handle for work in harness.
One piece, take apart or telescopic
A one piece lunge whip is sturdy and well balanced but takes up space in transport. Take apart and push fit models split into sections and fit into any car boot. Telescopic whips extend to the length you need, which is practical if you work on circles of different sizes. An ergonomic handle feels comfortable in your hand during longer sessions and tires your wrist less, which you will appreciate when you lunge several horses.
Lungeing safely
Always wear gloves when lungeing so the lunge line cannot burn your hand if your horse suddenly shoots off. Hold the whip quietly and point it towards the hindquarters to send the horse forward, or towards the shoulder to keep it out on the circle. The lash is a signal, not a means of punishment. A well schooled horse responds to just a small movement of the whip.
Frequently asked questions
How long should a lunge whip be?
It should be long enough for you to reach your horse's hindquarters on the circle. For normal lungeing circles, whips with a long lash are usual, and telescopic models can be adjusted. What matters is that you can handle it safely and calmly.
What is the difference between a lunge whip and a bow topped whip?
A bow topped whip has a curved, flexible stick and is mainly used for driving. Lunge whips are straight and have a long lash. Many drivers also use a bow topped whip for groundwork.
Should I crack the lunge whip?
A crack startles many horses and is not needed for normal work. Usually it is enough to raise the whip or move it towards the hindquarters. Calm handling keeps your horse relaxed and attentive.
Lunge whips for work on the lunge
Lungeing is a valuable part of training in which your horse learns to balance itself without the weight of a rider. The lunge whip takes the place of the driving leg and helps you keep the horse out on the circle. One piece whips are sturdy and well balanced, while take apart and push fit models fit into any car boot. Telescopic whips extend to the right length. Ergonomic shaped or golf style handles are comfortable to hold. You will also find fibreglass bow topped whips, a vaulting whip and a driving whip with a leather handle. Always wear gloves when lungeing and use the whip calmly as a signal. A well schooled horse responds to just a small movement. That way working on the lunge becomes a relaxed experience for both of you, session after session.
