I think whipping a horse in anger is cruel and barbric! The horse doesn't know why it is being whipped and it would scare them with no point. If that is the way the person treats the horse, the person shouldn't own a horse and never be allowed to own one again!
I have seen riding crops used at the Royal Winter Fair and it was when a horse refused a jump a couple of times. The crop was used on the horse's rump with proper handling also, to teach it it is ok to get over the jump. It was not done in anger and did not strike the horse hard.
I have also seen a rider use a crop on a horse out of anger and hit it several times and I was thoroughly disgusted with the rider! He should of been charged with cruelty IMHO
Gail is right for a horse that likes to nip or bite..have an upper door with bars on it to stop that happening.
