Equipment

Riding Crop

also known as Crop

A short equestrian implement adapted to impact play.

Definition

A riding crop is a slender shaft ending in a small leather or fabric tab, originally used with horses. In impact play it produces sharp, precise sensation at a well-defined point.

Discussion

The crop's precision makes it well suited to targeted stimulation and to signalling within protocol.
