riding crops

Short horse whips

A riding crop is a short, stiff whip used by equestrians to cue or correct a horse.

It has a handle, a shaft covered in leather or synthetic material, and a small loop or flap at the tip.

Outside horseback riding, riding crops appear in BDSM contexts as implements for striking: She kept riding crops and paddles in a closet.
