France has recently tightened their whip rules
Two years ago they reduced the maximum permitted number of strokes from eight to six
Now the new maximum permitted number is five strokes

Ridiculous rules.

We are talking here of a 600 KG getting a few slaps with the whip.

No jockey worth his salt would overdo it.

I wonder where Australian Racing is going with all this "manbypamby " crap.

No wonder punters are abandoning horseracing.

Jockeys not happy
"Introducing eight-strike limit rule ‘shows lack of enlightened thinking’"

Canada harness have recently implemented new whipping rules

Main points:

"Drivers must keep both hands in the handholds at all times. Drivers must limit the use of the whip at all times while on the racetrack.

Drivers can never reach back to whip a horse. All whipping movement must be done from the wrist. The forearm must remain perpendicular to the track when the whip is used.

For any infractions of the new rules, a driver can receive demerit points.

Once a driver has accumulated more than three points, that driver is suspended from driving on the next race card. After a driver receives their first suspension, they will be put on probation and suspended from the next race card each time they receive an additional demerit point."

Showjumping now on the list. From 1 January 2020, only cushion-type whips will be allowed in the UK. And also changes to spur rules.
