Woof Wear Gel Fusion Riding Whip Hi Vis Yellow

Woof Wear Gel Fusion Riding Whip – Hi Vis Yellow, 60cm

Hi Vis Yellow is the brightest thing in the Gel Fusion palette and the closest match to a standard hi-vis tabard, so it is the sensible choice if the rest of your road kit is yellow. The whip is 60cm overall with its real leather flapper included.

Yellow shows mud quickly, which is worth knowing before you buy — the gel handle wipes clean easily enough, but the shaft will look grubbier sooner than the Navy or Racing Green. Against that, nothing else in the range is as easy to see across a field at dusk.

Performance & Benefits

• 60cm overall length, measured by Woof Wear to include the real leather flapper.
• Translucent TPR gel handle — the grippiest handle Woof Wear put on a whip, and it holds through a damp glove.
• Flexible fibreglass shaft, so a small wrist movement reaches the flapper without the whole whip bouncing.
• Genuine leather flapper gives a clear, defined contact rather than a vague slap.
• Branded end cap closes the butt of the handle and stops the grip creeping off.
• Fluorescent colour that is easy to see and easy to find, though Woof Wear do not claim any reflective material on this range.

Suitable For

• Hacking, roadwork and general flat schooling, where a short whip is easier to carry.
• Riders who lose grip on hard plastic handles in wet weather or with gloves on.
• Anyone building a colour-matched set from Woof Wear's Colour Fusion range.
• Young or novice riders, being light, short and cheap enough to replace.
• Not a dressage whip — at 60cm you cannot reach behind your leg without moving a hand, so for flatwork choose the Woof Wear Stealth Dressage Whip or Twisted Dressage Whip, which Woof Wear make at 100cm, 110cm and 120cm.
• Not a jumping bat either — there is no padded strike area, so for showjumping look at the Woof Wear Stealth Jump Bat at 60cm.

How to Use

• Hold it in the same hand as your rein, thumb over the top of the gel grip, flapper hanging behind your leg.
• Use it to confirm a leg aid the horse has ignored — one light tap, then reward the response. It is not a substitute for the leg.
• Change it to the other hand across the withers when you change the rein, rather than reaching over.
• Woof Wear's instruction is wipe clean only. Wipe the shaft and gel handle with a damp cloth and dry it off; do not soak it or put it in a wash.
• Store it hanging, or lying flat, rather than stood on the flapper.
