So in another thread for a certain behavior it was mentioned that their horse would get:
3 hits with a whip
4 hits with a whip
3 minutes of hitting with whatever they can get their hands on (who would say that???)
Seriously, when does it become excessive? Is one enough? 2? 3? Or do something deserve a hiding till your arm gets sore?
I never used to ride my horses with a whip, and never needed it. However I think beyond 3 is excessive, the only exception is if a horse is not going past something, and needs continuous encourage.
