Using your whip on your horse should be done in a controlled and measured manner. Begin by placing the tip of the whip on the base of your horse's neck - avoid areas that are sensitive or swollen. With short and sudden movements, bring the whip up and over your horse's back in a smooth motion. It is generally advised to make contact with the whip as few as possible, as excessive strikes can cause the horse to become agitated. It is important to practice and develop the skill of using your whip before doing so in anger.

When dealing with an unruly horse, it is important to maintain control with a firm, steady hand. Begin by grasping the whip in both hands, with the plaited section up and above your head. With a rapid, downward flick, bring the whip down towards your horse's withers, making sure to retain all your body weight on your horse's side. As the whip lands on your horse's body, give a quick, decisive follow-through.
