ABSTRACT:
A humane whip for use in horse racing comprises an elongate self-supporting spine of glass fibre, carbon fibre or the like, surrounded by an outer flexible sleeve of rubber or soft plastics material. Shock-absorbing members are disposed between the inner spine and the surrounding sleeve, and may comprise internal ribs on the sleeve and the air trapped between the spine and sleeve. The soft flexible sleeve has a reinforcing layer which inhibits stretching of the sleeve at least in the longitudinal direction. The tips of both the inner spine and the outer sleeve are each formed with an enlarged bulb.
