I am glad that they are now making gentler whips because I don’t like the fact that they use whips at all. I believe that if the horse wants to run, it should be able to run fast without the whip.

it was a pretty good article except, you could have included a pic. of the traditional whip and the new one so we could see both. I dont see how a just changing the leather would help. isnt the whip padded already? otherwise i think the whole using a gently whip is a fantastic idea
