As title really, just wondered if it is possible. :D

ETA: I meant to say, can you jump at competitions using a schooling whip

Nope, as I've been warned about this before when doing the clear round before the classes actually start with my long stick.
 
I'm pretty sure 75cm is the max length for a whip under BS(JA) rules.

Most schooling whips are longer than this though.
 
Ooops I jumped with one in an unaffiliated show the other weekend. I was jumping after doing a dressage test and I was glad I had it. It was our first sj course and he started backing off at the wall so flicked him a few times to keep him going and kept both hands on reins so he didnt run out lol. He's getting braver now though.
