Carrot Stick Whip with Rope (Parelli Stick) The Carrot Stick Whip with Rope, commonly known as the Parelli Stick, is an essential training aid for riders and handlers practising natural horsemanship. Designed to improve communication, timing, and clarity, it helps build a respectful and responsive partnership between you and your horse. Acting as a natural extension of your arm, the Carrot Stick allows you to reach your horse without stepping into their space. This makes it ideal for both groundwork and ridden work, enabling you to guide, stroke, support, and direct your horse with precision during training exercises. Unlike a traditional whip, the Carrot Stick is not intended for punishment. Instead, it functions as a communication tool to reinforce cues, encourage movement, and refine responses in a calm, consistent manner.
