Can I carry a schooling whip?

[Hovis_and_SidsMum]

As I've already waffled about in previous posts, Hovis and I are doing our first competition next wednesday.
It's a local thing - clear round then a novice and green horse class at 55cm.
Question however - can I carry a schooling whip? I don't need one to make him "go" but do use one to keep him straight when he wobbles (only to reinforce my very weak left leg). Will I be allowed or not?

I would say so, its only clear round so they shouldnt mind

Most unaffiliated sj is run under BSJA rules so no whips over 30cm, but worth calling the organisers as they might make an exception.

Ah I see. Thats fine. I will check but I imagine you're right. I can ride him without its just easier with one.
The bet may now go from him destroying every jump after the second one, to him destroying EVERY jump!!
