Dos Equine LLC - The Whip
Clip®
What
a great idea! No more dismounting because you have
dropped your crop. No more trying to find a good place
to lay your crop down so you can still retrieve it if
you need it.
Our
tester used the Whip Clip for several weeks during her
normal schooling of her horse. The idea is to be able
to have quick access to a crop but not have to hold it
all the time. There is no longer a need to drop the
crop or find a good spot to lay it down in case you
need it again. For many riders it is important to have
their crop available to use, yet it is difficult to
hold the reins correctly while holding a crop.
We
found that the Whip Clip was very convenient to use.
Our rider was able to use the Whip Clip even before
she mounted her horse. It is an excellent tool when
working on a horse’s ground manners. If a rider needs
extra reinforcement of her voice aids while working
from the ground, the crop is handy but does not have
to be held. The only disadvantage to using it for
ground work that our tester noticed was that the Whip
Clip worked better with shorter crops; a dressage whip
for instance, was too awkward to try to walk with
while it was attached to the Whip Clip. The size of
the whip was not as much an issue when we used the
Whip Clip while mounted, and the manufacturer
suggested using it with crops up to 36”.
Our
tester was a bit concerned that, because the whip clip
was small, she might lose it. However, the easiest way
to keep track of it was to leave it on her boot or
half chap. She did have to remember when taking the
crop out of the Whip Clip to push the crop outward
away from the boot until it snaps out instead of
pulling it up, because otherwise the clip just stayed
on the whip and slid off the boot or half chap.

The Whip Clip™ personal whip
holder makes training a snap
JANUARY 2007 - It’s a common frustration among
horse riders: having to drop the whip to the ground
when it’s not needed during training and then having
to dismount to pick it up when it is needed again. The
Whip ClipTM personal whip holder from Dos
Equine offers the ultimate solution to this universal
problem.
The Whip Clip is a compact (2 ¼” x 1” x 1”), discreet,
two-chambered clip that slides into place over the
top of the rider’s boot or half chaps. When the
crop, whip or bat is not needed, the rider inserts it
into the clip - safely, securely and near at hand. The
clip’s larger, upper chamber holds the whip handle or
portions of it; the lower chamber secures the whip
shaft. When the whip is needed again, the rider can
readily retrieve it with one hand from The Whip Clip,
without dismounting and while maintaining rein contact
with the horse.
The Whip
Clip maximizes riding time for pleasure riders as well
as riders who regularly train with a whip.
Manufactured from a thermoplastic material, The Whip
Clip is strong enough to hold a whip during a walk,
trot or canter, yet flexible enough to allow the whip
or crop to be inserted and withdrawn easily. It is
designed to accommodate most commercially available
horse whips today. The Whip Clip’s patent
- pending design was developed by a horse enthusiast
who has spent most of her life on and around horses,
training, and riding horses.
