The
WhipWatch began as an idea 25-years ago to assist in conditioning
horses for three-day eventing and is now about to be released in the
US, Canada, and Europe as an all-around training device for riders of
all disciplines.
WhipWatch
combines a quality Irish made whip with an easy-read digital clock to
provide accurate timing of any equestrian sport or training activity. The
custom module (timer) was designed with stopwatch and programmable
countdown features, in addition to an alarm and real time.
Riders
can easily activate WhipWatch features without compromising hand
position by sliding a thumb to the start button on the timer’s housing.
The countdown device features audible beeps at each minute, allowing
eventer's to accurately gauge their cross-country time.
The
stop watch feature counts from zero up, allowing riders to time
interval training, jump courses, barrel racing or any type of
point-to-point equestrian sport. Real time
allows riders the freedom of trail riding or schooling without the use
of a wristwatch buried under layers of clothing during winter riding. The
programmable alarm serves as a wake-up call for overnight pack rides,
but also can be used to signal its whereabouts if lost in the barn or
dropped on the trail. Its battery is replaceable and WhipWatch is water and shock resistant.
WhipWatch
was invented by NARHA Registered Instructor Robin Parow based on a need
she recognized over two decades ago while conditioning a horse for
three-day eventing. Over the past two years, she brought the idea to fruition by refining and patenting the design.
