A short lunge whip is a lightweight training tool commonly used in horse training, including liberty work, to help communicate with the horse using body language and energy from a distance. It has a shorter shaft and lash than a standard lunge whip, making it more manageable in close-range or liberty settings.

What It Is:

• Length: Shorter than a standard lunge whip (approximately 48" including shaft and string).

• Structure: A lightweight shaft with a flexible lash or string at the end.

• Purpose: It's not for hitting the horse — it’s an extension of your arm used to guide, direct, or influence energy.
