A quirt is a forked type of stock whip which usually has two thongs at the end (like the tails on some tawses). Sometimes called a riding quirt, horse quirt, or a dog quirt.

The thongs on a quirt are made of leather, buffalo, or cow hide. The core of the quirt is usually a leather bag filled with lead shot, the main part including the handle is often made from braided leather or kangaroo hide.
