18 Inch Riding Bat

Bought this for groundwork with my mare and the 18 inch length is perfect for quick, light taps without overreaching. The springy body gives a nice snappy response, and the leather keeper hasn't cracked or worn after a few weeks of daily use.

The rubber grip makes it easy to hold onto even when my hands get sweaty mid-ride, and the leather keeper is a nice touch. It’s compact but still gives enough snap to get the message across without being harsh. My horse responds better with this than with my old full-size crop.

The springy body has just the right amount of snap without feeling flimsy, and the rubber grip keeps my hand steady even when I'm sweaty. It's noticeably lighter than a full crop, which makes it easier to control during long rides.
