I ordered the Prime eligible stick, which arrived in black with black string. I adore it; the price is unbeatable, and the quality is comparable to that of the Parelli and Clinton Anderson brands, both of which I have previously used extensively. I've never been let down by a Tough-it product. I have only purchased one product, and I frequently choose it over other options. The leather loop at the top is thick and wide, and I'm hoping it won't rip open as it ages. The string is fairly thick, and the leather popper on the end is functional; however, I'm not sure how the string will hold up over time, whether it will remain pliable or stiffen as dirt and age accumulate. While the 5 foot string is nice, I would have preferred a 4 foot string when working with ponies because it's too long to manage. The stick is 4 feet long, which is perfect for touching my hindquarters while standing wherever I need to be. The grip is quite large; it's called a golf club grip, and it's made of rubber with nubbins. It doesn't slip in my hand even when I'm wearing gloves. It's hard to go wrong with it, and the fact that you can get two for the price of one from Parelli says it all in my opinion.
Excellent value for money and a fantastic stick! I really like how the whip is detachable. The stick is long and sturdy, making it ideal for groundwork. If you're looking for something to lunge with, this isn't it. It doesn't crack like a true whip, and it's not as long as one. Clinton Anderson or Parelli would love this. work of this nature.
I purchased two Tough 1 clinician sticks, the first of which broke after three sessions and the second of which broke after only four. I'm not doing anything out of the ordinary with it; I'm simply following Clinton Anderson's exercises, and the leather holder separates from the stick both times. I bought the second one, assuming I'd just gotten a bad one and that all the reviews couldn't possibly be wrong, right? Well, after the second one broke, I'm not going to waste any more money on this stick.
This stick has held up well after three weeks of use while working with my horse using Parelli natural horsemanship techniques. My only criticism is that it is a little heavier than I anticipated and took some time to adjust to. Overall, I am extremely pleased with this product and would strongly recommend it.
I'll keep using this stick until it breaks, but it's not exactly what I was looking for. The rubber on the handle has already come off, but it's tight enough that I can slide it back on and not worry about my stick flying around when I'm desensitizing horses. The string isn't as long as I'd like it to be, and the top tie results in a lopsided string, but it does the job for the price. It's a beater stick for the spring, and despite the rubber peeling off (not during use), it still performs admirably. Despite extensive use and desensitizing contact with the ground, the popper has yet to come off. Especially considering the mud and frozen ground at my barn, where popper deaths are all too common.
This is the first lunging whip I've purchased that isn't frightening to my horse. She continues to work with it, but it no longer bothers her. It has made a significant difference in her development.
I'll keep it, but I'll look for one that makes a nice snapping noise when I "crack" the whip.
