A whip is a tool, traditionally designed to strike animals or people to aid guidance or exert control over animals or other people, through pain compliance or fear of pain, although in some activities whips can be used without use of pain, such as an additional pressure aid or visual directional cue in equestrianism. Whips are generally of two types, either a firm stick designed for direct contact, or a flexible whip that require a specialized swing to be effective, but has a longer reach and greater force, though may have less precision. There are also whips which combine both a firm stick the stock or handle and a flexible line the lash or thong, such as hunting whips. The majority of whips are designed for use on animals, although whips such as the cat o nine tails and knout were specifically developed for flagellation as a means of inflicting corporal punishment or torture on human targets. Certain religious practices and BDSM activities involve the self use of whips or the use of whips between consenting partners. Misuse on animals may be considered animal cruelty, and misuse on humans may be viewed as assault. Use of whipseditWhips generally are used on animals to provide directional guidance or to encourage movement. Some whips are designed to control animals by imparting discomfort by tapping or pain by a full force strike that produces pain compliance. Some whips provide guidance by use of sound, such as cracking of a bullwhip. Other uses of whips are to provide a visual directional cue by extending the reach and visibility of the human arm. In modern times, the pain stimulus is still used in some animal training, and is permitted in many fields, including most equestrianism disciplines, some of which mandate carrying a whip. The whip can be a vital tool to back up riding aids when applied correctly, particularly when initial commands are ignored. However, many competition governing bodies limit such use of whips, and severe penalties may be in place for over use of the whip, including disqualification and fines. 1 Overuse improper use of whips may be considered animal cruelty in some jurisdictions. 2. Whip made in Silesia, Poland, made to enhance its cracking sound, used in folk Easter celebrations of Siuda Baba. Whip use by sound never or rarely strikes the animal instead, a long, flexible whip is cracked, to produce a very sharp, loud sound. This usage also functions as a form of operant conditioning most animals will flinch away from the sound instinctively, making it effective for driving sled dogs, livestock and teams of harnessed animals like oxen and mules. The sound is loud enough to affect multiple animals at once, making whip cracking more efficient under some circumstances. This technique can be used as part of an escalation response, with sound being used first prior to a pain stimulus being applied, again as part of operant conditioning. Whips used without painful stimulus, as an extension of the human hand or arm, are a visual command, or to tap an animal, or to exert pressure. Such use may be related to operant conditioning where the subject is conditioned to associate the whip with irritation, discomfort or pain, but in other cases, a whip can be used as a simple tool to provide a cue connected to positive reinforcement for compliant behavior. In the light of modern attitudes towards the potential for cruelty in whips, other names have gained currency among practitioners such as whips called a wand or a stick, calling the lash a string or a popper. Whip crackingeditThe loud sound of a whip crack is produced by a ripple in the material of the whip travelling towards the tip, rapidly escalating in speed until it breaches the speed of sound, more than 3. The crack is thus a small sonic boom. 3 Whips were the first man made objects to break the sound barrier. Most stick type whips cannot make a crack by themselves, unless they either have a very long lash, such as a longe whip, or are very flexible with a moderately long lash, like certain styles of buggy whip. But any design can be banged against another object such as leather boot to make a loud noise. Short, stiff crops often have a wide leather popper at the end which makes a particularly loud noise when slapped against an animal, boot, or other object. Stockwhipsedit. Drafting whip or cattle drafter made by George Woolnough, the famous Tenterfield SaddlerStockwhips or stock whips, including bullwhips and the Australian stockwhip, are a type of single tailed leather whip with a very long lash but a short handle. Stockwhips are primarily used to make a loud cracking sound to move livestock cattle, sheep, horses, etc. away from the sound. It is generally not used to actually strike an animal, as it would inflict excessive pain and is difficult to apply with precision. Australian stockwhipeditThe Australian stockwhip is often said to have originated in the English hunting whip, but it has since become a distinct type of whip. Today, it is used primarily by stockmen. Unlike the short, embedded handle of a bullwhip, the stockwhip handle is not fitted inside the lash and is usually longer. A stockwhips handle is connected to the thong by a joint typically made of a few strands of thick leather which is called a keeper. This allows the whip to hang across a stockmans arm when not being used. The handles are normally longer than those of a bullwhip, being between 1. The thong can be from 3 to 1. Stockwhips are also almost exclusively made from tanned kangaroo hide. The Australian stockwhip was shown internationally when lone rider Steve Jefferys reared his Australian Stock Horse and cracked the stockwhip to commence the 2. Sydney Olympic Games Opening Ceremony. BullwhipeditA bullwhip consists of a handle between 8 to 1. Some whips have an exposed wooden grip, others have an intricately braided leather covered handle. Unlike the Australian stock whip, the thong connects in line with the handle rather than with a joint, or even engulfs the handle entirely. At the end of the lash is the fall and cracker or popper. The fall is a single piece of leather between 1. During trick shots or target work, the fall is usually the portion of the whip used to cut, strike, or wrap around the target. The cracker is the portion of the whip that makes the loud sonic boom sound, but a whip without a cracker will still make a sonic boom, simply not as loud. Additional typesedit. A whip made of balat, made prior to 1. Whip, possibly Native American, Plains, late 1. Brooklyn Museum. There are other variations and lengths of stock whips. The yard whip is a type of smaller stockwhip. The yard whip is used on ground in cattle yards and other small areas where speed and precision is needed. The yard whip is also used by younger children that are not strong enough to handle a large stock whip. The cattle drafter or drafting whip is a cane or fibreglass rod with a handgrip, knob and wrist strap. The cane length is about 7. These whips are used in cattle yards and also when moving pigs. The bullock whip was used by an Australian bullock team driver bullocky. The thong was 8 to 1. A long handle was cut from spotted gum or another native tree and was frequently taller than the bullock drivers shoulder. The bullocky walked beside the team and kept the bullocks moving with taps from the long handle as well as using the thong as needed. 4The Rose whip is another variation of the stockwhip that was pioneered in Canada in the early 1. The Rose whips were effective in animal yards and other small areas. It was pioneered by an American farmer, Jack Liaocitation needed. The Raman whip is a similar variation of the stockwhip which closely relates to the Rose whip. This variation was pioneered in the small Ontario city of Hamilton in the early 2. Raman whips were effective on horse farms, horse derbies, and in other rural areas. It was pioneered by the South African inventor, Delaware Kumar. Florida cow whipeditThe Florida cow whip used by Floridiancowboys is a two piece unit like the stockwhip and is connected to the handle by threading two strands of the thong through a hollow part of a wooden handle before being tied off. The cowwhip is heavier than the Australian stockwhip. Early cowwhips were made mostly of cowhide or buckskin.
