Click the link above to view this tutorial video which shows the “easy method” of changing a fall on any standard Australian style fall hitch which is the most common method used today in both Australia as well as the United States. If you aren’t certain that your whip has this style of hitch, feel free to email us a picture of your fall hitch to whipmaker@midwestwhips.com and we will be happy to let you know.

At MidWestWhips, our main focus is and has always been whips, but we are happy to help repair some pieces of braided tack, including but not limited to braided nylon or leather reins and riding whips and crops that need reconditioning, replacement thongs, or other repairs.  Just email us at whipmaker@midwestwhips.com to ask for an estimate, and be sure to include some digital photos of the problem area if you can.
