Do they exist?

I have a short hacking whip in yellow with reflective on but my friend always hacks with a schooling whip and I want to get her a yellow one (preferably with reflective on but just yellow would do!)

Seem to find every colour under the sun but yellow!?

I haven't seen a reflective schooling whip, but mine is now accessorised with a piece of yellow reflective material from a workman's jacket. It flaps pleasantly and gives drivers an idea of how far away they need to be.
 
YorksG - where did you get yours from - our local tack shop is trying to get one for me - we have the short whips - but as per the OP I want a more noticable one for hacking out.

Come on manufactures - make these high viz schooling whips - they are far safer for us riders as we dont have to take our hands of the reins to use em and they dont half make a racket when you hit a car on the roofn they are too close of fast - dont half make em jump ! (oh did i just type that - sorry must have been thinking about a different post)
 
The links Katie_and_toto have are to short whips. I have one of those and actually they don't work as well as you would think they should. They are reflective but only in very low light. For dusk / sunset hacking they're not effective.

I put a bit of reflective tape on the end of my normal schooling whip. YorksG - where did you get yours? I want one too!
 
I got soem bright yellow flourescent material from a fishing shop and taped it round the end of my stick for hacking - to communicate to cars to keep that distance!


A pocket full of gravel comes in useful as well for cars that are far too close :-)
 
I've been searching for one of these for ages too, but all i've found so far is the short whips and after getting one to try it out i found it incredibly uneffective!
So now i just use my regular schooling whip with some reflective material wrapped around it-much more effective!
