| FAQ Q. Wht is whip horeshoes (WH) anyway? A. It's like horeshoes, but played with a whip! Q. Where did you come up with this? A. I didn't. I don't claim to be the first to "Invent" the game, but I do claim to be the father of modern WH. I got the idea while watching Anthony Delongis throw a whip around a partners legs ensnaring him, much like a bola. I figured it would be a good basis for a sport. Q. What do I need to get started? A. A whip, a stand, and a good suface is all it takes! |
