Buggy WhipA buggy whip is a whip used for driving on horses harnessed to a buggy, or small open carriage. The buggy whip industry ceased to exist with the introduction of the automobile, and is a classic example in marketing of an industry ceasing to exist because its market niche, and the need for its product, disappears. Buggy whips are not entirely gone. A resurgence of interest in carriage driving among aging baby-boomers now too old to ride their horses has allowed a few die-hard buggy whip manufacturers to stay in business. Foremost among these is a company in Westfield, Massachusetts. See also External links The Chronicle of the Horse
