This is a super easy project. I made it with spare parts from my garage, so it cost me nothing. You can substitute some equipment for others, but the only thing you really need is a piece of PVC pipe. This whip holder is so easy and cheap, I made two – one for my trailer and one for my tack room.
Supplies Needed:
2′ PVC pipe
PVC pipe cutter (or saw or even a Dremel)
Hot glue gun (or regular glue with some added patience, or super glue)
Black (or other color) spray paint
1. Cut your PVC pipe into 5 even pieces of 3″
2. Hot glue the pieces together.
3. Spray paint the whole thing, and let it dry.
4. Glue to the wall in your tack room/locker.
We glued ours to our tack room door. Insert whips/crops and you’re done.
The only downside to this type of holder is that it won’t fit some jump bats. If all your crops have wider handles, you could try a 1.5″ PVC pipe and have the handle come through the top. For the cost of free, I’m very happy with this little project.
