Whip Holder: every whip in its place
A whip holder brings order to the tack room, the indoor school or the yard. Instead of leaning in a corner or lying on the floor, your whips hang vertically on the wall, ready to grab. This is kinder to the material, because whips stay straight when they are stored hanging up. We stock plastic whip holders for several whips as well as premium models for a well kept tack room that looks the part.
Why store them hanging
Whips made from fibreglass or with a plastic core are flexible. If they are left leaning for a long time or lie under other things, they can bend permanently. A wall mounted whip holder keeps them vertical so they keep their shape. At the same time they are not in the way, nobody treads on them and the handles stay clean. In riding schools and yards with several riders, a large holder for many whips is especially practical.
Fitting and position
Whip holders simply screw onto the wall, ideally at hand height next to the door to the arena or in the tack room. The whips are slotted into the holder handle first and then hang downwards. Make sure there is enough clearance from the floor so long dressage whips do not touch the ground. Many holders also take short jumping bats and children's bats alongside dressage whips.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best way to store my whip?
Hanging with the handle at the top, for example in a whip holder. That way it stays straight and the handle stays clean. Do not put it under heavy objects or leave it leaning at an angle against the wall for long periods.
Can I straighten a bent whip?
Slightly bent whips sometimes straighten out again if they hang vertically for a while. Badly bent or broken whips should be replaced. A break inside can make the whip unpredictable when you use it.
Where should I put a whip holder in the indoor school?
Ideally close to the entrance, where you can grab a whip as you go in. It should be fitted so horses do not brush past it. At hand height it is also easy to reach from the saddle.
Whip holders for a tidy yard
In many tack rooms, whips stand in corners, lie on the floor or disappear under rugs. A whip holder quickly brings order. It screws onto the wall and holds several whips, which then hang vertically and ready to grab. This keeps the whips straight, protects the handles and makes sure nobody treads on them. A plastic holder offers space for many whips and is well suited to riding schools and yards with several riders. Premium models fit into a well kept tack room. It is best to fit the whip holder at hand height next to the arena entrance, so you can pick up your whip as you go in. Make sure there is enough clearance from the floor for long dressage whips. That way your whips are always straight, tidy and in their place, and you never have to search for the right one before a ride.
