i always use a show cane and for the jumping in the WH just a normal jumping whip.

I should think so, pretty sure I've seen others with them though that that may have just been ridden hunters...
Its probably to do with fashion and cost (aren't they quite expensive?) as to why more people don't use them as I can't imagine it would be incorrect for WHP...

Eww, if they weren't horsey then make sure you wash it!
No, that sounds a very good price to me

I am useless on this type of thing, but may be able to help a little with what I have seen people use.
I think what you have is called a hunting crop (a hunting whip is the one with the long dangly bit). I am not sure whether you should carry one in the ring unless you are associated with a hunt. Anyway - you rarely see anyone carrying them in the "normal" class, although some people will carry them in a championship if they are wearing full hunting gear. I wouldn't jump with one as you are likely to cause yourself an injury! I would also not use it in an in hand class.
I am sure Virtual will have a better idea than me on this as she is well into her hunting!

cool thanks, maybe i shouldve put in the hunting forum in hindsight!!
i bought the lot for resale and if i cant use it i may aswell sell on.
i will probably use it this weekend though for m-hunt.
ive never seen one carried in the ring but wondered if its preference or because your not allowed.

Its not the done thing....but i dont think it says anywhere in the rules that you cant?!?!
Not for ridden though; use a cane (plain staright one) and for jumping it may jab you!
