A Natural Horsemanship stick, also known as a carrot stick, serves as an extension of the human body during Natural Horsemanship or groundwork with your horse or pony. By extending your arm, you can more easily apply aids in directions that you might not reach from your position with your arm alone. A stick does not have the same function as a whip. Hence, the original name is Carrot Stick, which we often shorten to just "stick" nowadays. Carrot Stick means "root stock" in Dutch. The idea is that the horse should like the stick just as much as a carrot. Therefore, the stick should not be used as a whip. A stick is also stiffer and lacks the flex of a whip, making it possible, for example, to scratch the horse with the stick.
The two-part lunging whip from USG is two meters long and consists of two approximately 1-meter sections that can be screwed together. It is ideal for (too) small saddle rooms. At the end of the whip is a two-meter long, also removable, string.
