Not related to racing per se, but I've seen a video of a so called natural horsemanship horse breaker using a stock whip and was horrified.
I have used a stock whip, but never made contact with the horse at any stage, it was part of desensitising training, which I do with stock whips, cracking wood, riding whips and lunge whips. Again, the horse never comes into contact with any of these, they learn to accept the sounds, and that it will not hurt them. |
