Dear Stephann, Ladies and Gentlemen,
When I taught/mentored driving horses, there were techniques I had people do long before sitting in a cart behind a horse. Some of these techniques are passed on to those in BDSM whip work skills, as holding and using a whip for driving a horse was more of a light brush and not of a harsh beating. In holding a whip for either driving horses or for S&M, the desire to avoid fatique and maintain accuracy was the main objective.
Those without driving horses to practice on--would be given techniques and perhaps provoke some unkind jokes and didn't understand the 'method to these odd behaviors' however, having the understanding and foundation techniques which shoved bad habits to the side-- they could come into the cart and pick up the reins and have a horse turn sharply at a pinch of the reins--very subtle and very artful--and the horse was immediately responsive to the lightest of touches.
What I teach/mentor those in S&M and or BDSM, is that a person can recall their whips without interrupting their strokes. Again, with a loose grip in using a single tail and or flogger; to close the hand tight quickly will retract the whip immediately. This can be demonstrated at home to one's satisfaction and proof of truth. Taking a chair that has a back that has a horizontal bar for the chair's back. Tie a rope (that is not stretchy) or can wrap a belt around this bar and stand with your hand open and lay the belt/rope in the palm of your hand then rotate it as if holding a soda or glass of water. Let the rope or belt rest between your index finger and thumb pad. Putting the most lightest of pressure, make the rope/belt taunt but do not tip the chair. Just enough tension to feel the connection of hand to chair. Now, pinch the rope/leather and watch the chair. It will either slide on tile floor or tip on it's hind legs if on carpet. Middle finger and index finger and pinch with the thumb, it will be more pronounced. Close the entire hand and you will see that roughly 2-3 inches are gathered and tips the chair or slides it back, if on tile. This is just one example out of many tips I give as a mentor/teacher.
Equestrians learn this art/technique when riding horses. One does not need to yank or pull, it just takes a pinch or close of the hand. Then, when working in double bridles, the techniques take on other levels using angles.
As an instructor -- the goal for me is to have the rider or driver have their horse/pony/cob under control. Upsetting a horse by jerking their head, added with a cart/buggy/wagon and or carriage--is dangerous; especially when driving on highways with trucks, buses, emergency equipment with sirens and horns blasting, cars and such; let alone riding astride a horse.
As an instructor in the art of whips and canes, paddles and spanking-- techniques to aid the TOP/Dominant from tiring or working to hard for the task, my desire is to show techniques to save strength and energy for them as well as techniques a submissive/slave can use to give them endurance, aid in pain and or discomfort management. To be able to recall a whip fast, should a bottom/slave/submissive lurch back suddenly. The recall will not cause the TOP/Dominant to loose control of the whip--just remove the whip from it's original path and distance when thrown forward. This will work on single tails and floggers as well.
There is more to my mentoring than just whip/cane skills and or S&M however, I just wanted to example how some odd techniques can benefit when the time comes in using whips/canes. I mentor/teach in other areas but, that is another time and or topic.
Just some thoughts.
Respectfully submitted for consideration,
Lady Hugs
