This whip is a predecessor of today's riding crop. Before the invention of glass fibre inlays these crops were made by sewing together several layers of tapered strips of leather. The combination of rigidity and elasticity is what makes this whip exceptional. The rounded handle means it is very comfortable to manage and can be driven with extraordinary precision. The flexible swat allows a variation of intensity from bearable to very fierce. It's one of our favourite new toys and should not be amiss in any well assorted whip collection! One very attractive element of this whip is it's complete production from leather, compared with the high ratio of synthetic components in most riding crops. We produce these whips from especially high-quality English bridle leather (please see additional description below) in the following colours: - black with black stitching - black with brown stitching - mahagony/black with black stitching - london/black/london/black with black stitching (please choose colour below) Length of whip approx. 54 centimetres (plus hand loop) Width of swat approx. 2.5 centimetres
