riding crop
Jockey's short whip
A riding crop is a short, flexible whip used by equestrians to signal or discipline a horse.
It typically has a stiff handle, a woven leather shaft, and a looped end that makes a snapping sound.
The crop extends a rider's reach without requiring much arm movement: She tapped the horse's flank with her riding crop.
Riding crops also appear in BDSM contexts as implements for striking.
