The whip would be the driver, or, in other words, the person whipping the
horse, or handling the whip. Simple transfer of tool name to occupation.

Whip means the Driver of the cart or carriage.
The Driver carries a whip to communicate with the carriage horse (NOT to beat
it) because when driving you do not have legs to guide the horse. Used

I believe the term whip, as used here, refers to the driver who carries (and

whip wasn't very good at driving his curricle, phaeton, or other
