Does anyone know...............

if I can ride in a showing class with a dressage whip? I am hacking to a show tomorrow and doing dressage as well.

 

[samstar]

maybe wrong but thought you have to use a show cane

 

[clairefeekerry1]

no you shouldn't use a dressage whip in showing class... x

 

[ladyearl]

Don't think so - it's a showing cane job.

Thank you. That's a pain. Looks like I will have to ride down there with a stick in each hand!

What is a showing cane actually for??

They are for show...they aren't really good for anything!!

Any whip or cane can't exceed 30", generally dressage whips are 37"

Don't you have a support car going down? Or know someone who could take your extra bits for you?

Hope you have fun

Thanks, I was wondering! It didn't seem like an item I'd actually want to touch my horse with.

If it's a local show I would think that a shorter whip would be acceptable if you haven't got a showing cane.
