As such it was designed to be a long whip because it was generally used on horseback so length was needed to get close enough to the cattle to have the desired effect while still keeping the Cowboy and his horse safe.

This bullwhip consists of a handle section, a thong, a fall, and a cracker. Whether you are driving cattle or dressing up as your favorite action character of all time the Handmade Spanish Main Leather Bull Whip is the whip for you.
