Have you any experience of them?
I once gave one to a friend, who Dommed me occasionally, but she never got round to using it on me.

Used to do a lot of horse riding in my youth had my own horse for around 10 years or so. Yes riding crops sting a bit if you hit yourself accidentally. If you intend to use one for a bit of hitting be careful they can leave a nasty mark if you hit hard. I did not like using them on my horse so stopped using it. Carried it with me when i went out hacking for my own protection. Once was chased by some fella and had to use it to stop him from grabbing the reins, but that is another story.

We have a couple of riding crops which she uses on me.
They are less painful than a cane but stingier than a whip.
She also finds them easier to control than a whip.

I have a lot of experience with them. If you’re thinking of getting one as a cheaper alternative to the sort sold by LH and other sex shop suppliers, think again. A good quality, well made riding crop for eventing or dressage will cost you a lot more than the ones for sale here 
. You might get a kids one cheap but it won’t be long enough, will look cheap and break easily… and for me, would be a bit creepy getting a kids riding riding crop for BDSM use.
On the other hand, if you’re willing to spend a bit more or get a cheaper one that might fall apart, the only ones legal for BS now would be a good intro to whips for this purpose as they’re well made and very padded on the hitting end.
Not relevent to this conversation but this is my review of my horse’s LH purchase because it amused me to write it. Though for it’s original purpose it is now redundant, he has passed it on to his field mate and she is now using it permanently for a different purpose.

Yes proper ones are not cheap.
My partner has a proper one that she got for equestrian reasons many decades ago. It is now too delicate to mess about with, but is proudly on display above the bed .
Did somebody say riding crop? Nothing gets my attention faster than a riding crop. Anyway! 
A funny story: some years ago I bought a brown, genuinely-for-equestrian-use, not-used-for-equestrian-use riding crop, something that I, a former equestrian, knew would last. Master appreciated it, but he preferred the “slap” of our Bondage Boutique riding crop - well beggars can’t be choosers, I guess!
Roll on a few months, my best mate at the time was sat on our bed chatting to me whilst I organised our wardrobe and she sassed me, and without thinking I grabbed the riding crop and pointed it at her.
I learned that day that we were both sexual deviants, we just neither expected it of one another

I’m a.former equestrian of 13 years myself. I can’t do it anymore, I came off twice (once launched over a fence, I was not ready for that gesture [as if we ever are!]!) and got told my back is compromised- one more hard whump on the deck and I could end up paralysed. So I gave that up and took up martial arts instead!
I still remember the smell of leather and leather polish in the tack room, it did things that at that time I didn’t quite fully understand. Needless to say, I do now!

It’s certainly a risky sport…
I must admit I really love the smell of a tack room these days… I didn’t really understand before but the smell of leather, hay and horses is amazing.

Lol… the through of going into a tack shop and buying a child’s riding crop
My ex gf had horses (and I grew up with them as a rider) so I should be used to it but I love the swish of a riding crop.

It’s power. The relationship between rider and horse is amazing, there’s so much trust involved.
The temperament of each horse has an impact too: I used to ride a couple of Welsh Section C’s, both chestnut, one male and one female, almost identical markings too. The biggest difference? Temperament. The female gave me absolutely no hassle at all; dreamboat in gymkhanas. The male decided it would be funny to roll in the sawdust in front of a 200+ strong audience right before a show - I had no time to change saddles. I was plucking splinters out of my ass for weeks 
Just a heads up, you may want to remove your conment about growing up around horses to keep in line with the forum rules
