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. This short version is particularly suitable for deployment with close physical contact, for example bending over the knee and more otherwise hard to reach places. The flexible double 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 - mahogany/black/mahogany with black stitching - london/black/london/black with black stitching (please choose colour below) Length of whip approx. 35 centimetres (plus hand loop) Width of swat approx. 2.5 centimetres
