Woof Wear Hi Vis Riding Whip Orange

Woof Wear Hi Vis Riding Whip – Hi Vis Orange

Fluorescent orange with reflective detailing, and the colour in Woof Wear's Hi Vis range that reads most clearly against grass, hedges and hunter-green fencing. A schooling whip finished with a 10cm flick and a gel handle.

Orange is also the colour drivers associate with roadworks, which is not a small point if the reason you are buying a hi-vis whip is hacking on lanes. The gel handle is the same grippy compound Woof Wear use across their whips and does not go slick when your gloves are wet.

Performance & Benefits

• Fluorescent finish with reflective detailing worked in, so it works in daylight and under headlights.
• Grippy gel handle holds securely in a gloved or wet hand.
• Nicely balanced in the hand — Woof Wear's own description, and it holds true; the whip does not nod as you ride.
• Finished with a 10cm flick for a light, clearly defined aid.
• Part of Woof Wear's wider Hi Vis collection, so it matches their hi-vis tabards, hats bands and boots.

Suitable For

• Schooling at home and hacking on roads, tracks and bridleways.
• Riding in poor light — early mornings, winter afternoons, dull or foggy days.
• Riders assembling a full hi-vis outfit who want the whip to match rather than clash.
• Sharing between horses and riders on a yard, because it is easy to identify at a glance.
• Not a jump bat — there is no padded strike area, so a showjumper wants the Woof Wear Stealth Jump Bat at 60cm or the Jump Bat Full Grip at 65cm instead.
• Not a dressage whip either. For flatwork at length, the Woof Wear Stealth Dressage Whip and Twisted Dressage Whip come in 100cm, 110cm and 120cm.

How to Use

• Carry it in the hand nearest the direction you are working, flick pointing down and back behind your leg.
• Ask with the leg first; use the flick only to confirm the aid, then leave the horse alone once it answers.
• For roadwork, pair it with reflective wear on the horse as well — a whip alone is a small target.
• Woof Wear's care instruction is wipe clean only. A damp cloth over the shaft and gel handle is enough; do not soak it.
• Hang it up rather than standing it on the flick, which sets a curl into the end.
