Also known as: 乗馬鞭, 乗馬ムチ, 馬鞭, 马鞭, ムチ(乗馬), 鞭
A short, semi-rigid whip without a lash. Normally used for Horseback Riding, but nowadays more often associated with BDSM.
Riding crops are often confused with teachers' Pointers. A riding crop usually has some flex to it and often widens and flattens into a rectangular shape at its very tip. Pointers are usually thinner, completely rigid and may have an oblong cushion on the end. Even artists sometimes conflate the two.
