KM Elite Dressage Whip with White Crystal Grip, 110cm

KM Elite Dressage Whip with White Crystal Grip – 110cm

KM Elite's Dressage Whip with White Crystal Grip is a 110cm schooling whip finished with crystal detailing set into a white handle. It is built for the arena rather than the field: 110cm is the length that lets you reach behind your leg from the saddle without taking your hand off the rein or twisting in the seat.

The crystal grip is the point of it. This is a competition-yard whip, meant to look right against a white dressage saddlecloth and a dark coat, and to be carried rather than used hard. KM Elite publish very little about the shaft itself, and what they do and do not state is set out below.

Performance & Benefits

• 110cm length, which KM Elite describe as giving balanced reach for accurate cueing in dressage.
• White crystal grip for a secure hold and a distinctive, refined finish.
• Dressage-specific design, intended for controlled, precise aids rather than correction.
• Long enough to reach behind the leg without the rider shifting position.
• Smart enough for the competition arena as well as everyday schooling.

Suitable For

• Flatwork and dressage schooling at home.
• Dressage competition, subject to the whip length rules of your governing body.
• Riders who want a schooling whip that looks the part in white and crystal.
• Backing up a leg aid on a horse that is slow off the leg.
• Not a jumping whip — 110cm is a schooling length and the wrong tool over fences, where a short bat is required. Choose a KM Elite jump bat or event bat for that.

How to Use

• Carry it in the inside hand, pointing down and back behind your leg, with the handle across the palm above the rein.
• Use it as a light tap behind the leg to reinforce a leg aid, not as a correction.
• Change it across at a change of rein rather than reaching over the horse's neck with it.
• Wipe the shaft down and stand the whip upright in a whip holder; stored bent, the shaft will take a set.
