WHIPS II

The hunting whip is not intended to be used on the horse, but rather the lash is there to remind the target to stay away from the horse's hooves, which are the cracker that is you. This should be enough elaboration.

Next... A quirt - It is a short, flexible piece of thickly braided leather with two wide pieces of leather at the end, which makes a loud crack when it strikes an object. They inflict more noise than pain. Quirts are occasionally carried on horses used in western riding disciplines, but because the action of a quirt is slow, they are not used to correct or guide the horse but are more apt to be used by a rider to reach out and strike at targets. This should be all.

We move over to the topic of show cane - It is a short, stiff cane that may be plain, leather-covered, or covered with braided leather. Traditional canes are made from a stick of holly, cherry, or birch wood, which is dressed and polished. They are rarely used now, except in formal show hacking events.
