How to use the whip when riding a horse

Different characters have developed their own set of conventions when it comes to the use of the horsewhip. What are these conventions?

For example, when performing a horseback riding action, the official is steady, with a small range of motion, holding the whip in his hand and waving it behind him a few times, which represents the mood of the horseback riding;

The military general can be different: the military general mounted the horse to his own back, a whip, (showing strangulation of the horse's head) at the same time, make a single leg a lift and then the other leg a Pi?a Colada leg action!

These two ways, the audience will recognize the actor in the performance of horseback riding.

This is the conventional programmed performance.
