Meh
I am very pleased with the length and balance of this whip for groundwork. However, after very light use and proper storage, the tip is already beginning to fray. Not what I would expect from a German made product. That said, nowhere on my whip does it actually say Fleck as shown in the picture, which makes me question whether I even received a genuine Fleck product. The design is excellent, but the quality is disappointing.

8 years in, still going strong
I posted a review shortly after I got this whip... 8 years ago. It's still in excellent shape (although I'm ordering a spare in case they ever discontinue). For anyone with neck issues/old injuries/etc., this is a life-saver. I used my trainer's long whip a few months back and was amazed at how quickly my shoulder and neck fatigued. I would agree that, with a lazy horse, this might not be as effective. With the forward- thinker though, it's much easier to be subtle and precise in your whip use. You can also easily work a smaller circle or have close proximity without the whip getting in the way.

I bought this a while ago and overall it’s great quality and very snappy, but I wish I had gone for the longer length. It’s very lightweight but just not long enough to avoid chasing my lazy horse.

Worth the price
I read the reviews from others but couldn’t justify cost — until the other one I purchased started degrading within 2 months. I went for quality this time, and the difference was clear. Plus, Fleck is still made in Germany by a small German company who hand makes each one — I did my due diligence. I am learning the hard way that quality over price counts — I am new to horsewomanship and have made some costly mistakes.

Perfect size
I'm on the short side and I have arthritis in my wrists and hands. The size of this shorter whip, and the light weight makes it perfect for me. And it does the job

Nice quality and weight
I am very impressed with the quality and weight of the lunge whip. I was looking for something that would be easier to work with rather than a longer and heavier whip.

Perfect for the right horse, situation
This whip works PERFECTLY for a forward horse. I love it as my wrists and arms get tired with a really long whip. I also use it for long lining and it is wonderful. It is not perfect for a lazier horse that you have to chase or actually flick with the whip.

Great balance !
As a instructor I try to teach the benefitsof ground work. This whip allows younger
students to practice in hand activities safely.

perfect size but frayed quickly
Bought this mid February and by mid March the end was frayed where the stick connects to the lash. Working with smartpak to see if anything can be done to replace. It was always stored properly.
