I'm looking for a jumping whip/bat that complies with the new rules but I need one with a thin handle does such a thing exist? I brought one recently but the handle is too thick for me to hold with my reins as I only have small hands.

I bought the le mieux one which Im not even sure is legal as some of them were a bit long. I don’t like it. Handle too fat so it’s cumbersome and it does nothing. I would prefer a light waggly thing on the end to give them a tickle (which f responds to better) than a short fat leather bat thing. Those York ones have a better handle.

Are this type really any better/kinder ? I would think anything can be misused in the wrong hands.
