Abstract
A system and method for a show stick. The show stick has an upstream whip component joined with a downstream whip component by a joint. There is a spring overlaying the joint. At least one protective layer is placed atop the spring. The protective layer keeps the fine edges from making contact with an animal. The spring provides the necessary flexibility, but the spring further reinforces the joint and ensures the whip does not come apart at the joint.
