How to hold a riding crop?
What is the correct way to hold a riding crop? I find that when i use it, i can’t put my thumbs on top of the reins because the crop is pressing against the horse’s shoulder. My hands always end up being slightly tilted towards the inside.
Also, what is the correct hand position? I thought maybe it was my hand position that is the problem. Are the thumbs supposed to be parallel and pointing straight forward or pointed slightly to the inside (so that if your thumbs extended, they would intersect)?
Thanks!
That’s the thing. I can’t get my hand to look the same with the crop. When i try pointing my thumbs upwards towards the sky, the crop presses on the horse’s shoulder and prevents my hand from rotating more. How do i fix this?
Hands, without the crop, are supposed to be parallel, pointing straight ahead, thumbs facing up to the sky (no pointing inward). They are also supposed to be held low and not far apart.
The hand without the crop should not be altered. However, the hand holding crop will be. Many people hold theirs different ways. I keep my thumb on top of the rein when I’m holding a crop, but i’ve seen riders who don’t. Try to hold it how it’s comfortable for you (as long as your hand is still low, and in the correct area). Just remember to hold your crop in the inside hand.
But, overall, your hand should look the same with just a crop slid inside.
