This 24-inch bat from Weaver Equine wears a bright, trendy shaft color that kids love, topped with a wide flat popper that reinforces a cue with sound rather than sting. The textured rubber handle fills the hand and stays put when palms get sweaty or gloves get wet, and the longer 24-inch reach suits taller riders, bigger horses and showmanship work with livestock. Use it as an extension of your leg, seat and voice to develop the movement you want during schooling.

Ask with your leg first, and if your horse does not respond, follow with a light tap just behind your leg, then reward the forward step. Keep taps short and quiet and use the bat as a reminder, not a punishment. For showmanship and ring work with pigs, goats or calves, use the popper to guide the animal's shoulder or hip into position. Wipe the shaft and popper with a damp cloth after muddy days and store it hanging so the shaft stays straight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eChoose Your Color\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth colors are the same 24-inch bat with the same rubber handle and popper.
