Description
Reach the hindquarters of a big horse from the center of the circle with the Weaver Lunge Whip with Rubber Handle, 73". The extra-long 73-inch shaft, 75-inch lash and 11-1/2-inch popper give you more reach than a standard 65-inch lunge whip, so you can cue a tall or lazy horse on a 60-foot circle without stepping toward it. A comfortable rubber handle fills the hand and will not twist when you swing, and the lightweight shaft and lash stay quiet in the air through a long ground-work session. Choose classic Red, bright Pink/Black or Hurricane Blue/Black to match your lunge line and halter.
Key Features of This 73-Inch Lunge Whip
- 73-inch shaft: Eight inches longer than a standard lunge whip for extra reach on large horses and big circles.
- 75-inch lash and 11-1/2-inch popper: Long enough to pop behind the horse for a clear forward cue without touching it.
- Rubber handle: Cushioned, textured grip that stays put in sweaty hands or gloves.
- Lightweight and balanced: Easy to hold up through lunging, long-lining and free-lunging sessions.
- Three colors: Red, Pink/Black or Hurricane Blue/Black to coordinate with Weaver lunge lines and halters.
How to Use
Hold the lunge line in the hand closest to the horse's head and the whip in the other hand, pointed at the hindquarters. Ask for forward with your voice first, then lift the whip or flick the lash toward the hocks if the horse ignores you, and lower it as soon as the horse responds. Point the whip at the shoulder to push the horse out on the circle and drop it behind you to ask for a halt. For long-lining, carry it in the outside hand and use it only as a reminder. Keep the lash from wrapping around the shaft between uses, wipe the whip with a damp cloth when muddy, and hang it to store so the shaft stays straight. Wear gloves and keep the lash clear of your own feet.
Choose Your Color
All three colors are the same 73-inch whip with the same lash, popper and rubber handle. Pick Red for a solid-color whip that is easy to spot, Pink/Black for a pink shaft over a black handle, or Hurricane Blue/Black for a sky-blue shaft over a black handle.
