[RC] Parelli Carrot Stick Causes Tendonitis? - Tina Rushing

Someone wrote:  "The basis of my criticism comes from a couple of places, not the least of which is the poor design of the carrot stick, yes a nicely balanced dressage whip is a far more effective tool if for no other reason than that it is (and has specifically been designed to be) easier to hold without causing long term physical damage to the user. I have two
friends how have been in and out of the doctor's office for treatment of their tendonitis." 

 

Pardon if this observation has already been made.  I'm thinking that these folks have tendonitis because they're over-using the stick. The stick is good.  If they are swinging the stick to the extent that it generates a tendonitis episode then they have a big problem, and it isn't the stick.  The visual cracks me up, it has the potential to be one of those painfully memorable utube videos.
