I want to try riding my horse with a dressage whip (those long whips, I don't know the name) as I think it will be a better ride for him and me both, not having to always turn around to use my short crop. Anyways, this might be a hard question to answer, but I'll give it a try:
Q: How do you hold your whip so it is horizontal reaching the horses butt? Okay, that was confusing, but I'm basically asking how do you hold your dressage whip, so it works properly?
Thanks For Anything!

PS- I know about dressage whips- the thinner the end is or something, the more it hurts when you tap, so I'll only give him little taps, not big thwacks! Don't worry, I'm NOT that stupid!
