Anyone know the legal length of a whip in National level dressage. It been a while since I last showed. I remeber it was 49 inches but that was 5 years ago. Can anyone update me?
I've searched the rule book but can only find the ruling for FEI level. I'll only be showing level 1 maybe 2 by the end of the season.
Any help would be appreciated...Thanks!

Which, ironically, equals 49 inches! This is an increase from the former legal length of 101 mm, 40 inches that has prevailed for quite some time.

ok awesome that;'s what I thought but I was under the assumption that it had changes to 110cm (43 inches). I am assuming this is just for FEI warm up regulation?

Yes, but there's a new rule there: for championship shows and FEI classes, you must drop the whip BEFORE entering the competition AREA. You can't use it to get your horse around outside the ring and then drop it a A anymore.

Just to clarify the above re: FEI classes - dropping the whip before
entering the competition area (ie. around the ring) applies to #ed_op#span style="font-weight: bold;"#ed_cl#CDIs only#ed_op#/span#ed_cl# (not Primary, Provincial or National competitions)#ed_op#br#ed_cl#

Not quite Kerri -- we've got those new rules just brought into effect. Dropping the whip outside the compettition area applies to CDI (FEI sanctioned competitions) AND to Championships, World Cup Qualifiers and National Team Trials.
In effect, any type of competition were you can't carry the whip in the ring, you also can't carry it around the ring.
