I used to horse ride as a kid and there was a vet who had a horse at the stables I went to. I asked him if the whips hurt the horses and he said barely, if you whip them on the flank where you should the muscle is that dense it doesn't hurt, what makes them run faster is the sight of it out of the corner of their eyes which spooks them. I didn't believe him.....it has to hurt.
