sherlock+mark todd=whipping good yarn!

In my last post I managed to link Margaret Thatcher with showjumping so I was very excited when thanks to Sherlockology I discovered that there was a link between BBC's Sherlock and eventing!

The Braided Leather Riding Whip from event rider Mark Todd's equestrian collection which boasts an enhanced grip and a good wide striking end-both attributes very commendable in a good whip- has appeared in two episodes of  the unmissable Sherlock. It's thwackability was tested by Sherlock in a controversial mortuary scene in A Study In Pink. Then more recently it cropped up again (sorry) in A Scandal In Belgravia, this time in the hands of dominatrix Irene Adler played by Lara Pulver.  I love a versatile item don't you.

From the tack room to the bedroom this striking little number definitely has class credentials!
