Driving Whips

A driving whip is an important communication tool, allowing the driver to give clear cues from the cart, carriage or wagon. Because the driver can't use leg aids as a rider would, the whip acts as an extension of the driver's hand to help guide, encourage and communicate with the horse.

Alberta Carriage Supply offers driving whips in different lengths and styles for Miniature Horses, Ponies, Horses and Draft Horses, from shorter whips for close driving to longer whips for larger horses and hitches.

The right whip should provide enough reach to communicate effectively with your horse while remaining comfortable and balanced in your hand.

Whether you're pleasure driving, training or working your horses, a properly sized driving whip is an essential part of a driver's equipment.
