I'm prefacing this by saying I don't know how old you are, but I'm guessing 14-16. I'm surprised you haven't talked to your parents about this yet. While I agree that you should say something to these girls, I doubt it will do any good and is likely to add fuel to the fire. I knew many girls like them and ignoring them was usually best.
Talk to the trainer on private and tell get what's going on. The trainer should never have let transpire what happened on that field day. It was dangerous for both rider AND horse.
If the trainer isn't willing to do something about them, your parents need to talk to her themselves. Their behavior is absolutely acceptable and puts a lot of people and horses at risk for serious injury.
I'm glad you're moving at the end of the month, but their behavior needs to be made known to whomever is in charge there.
As far as gossiping, unfortunately people will always gossip. No matter what your age. It's good to stay learning now to let things like that roll off your back as much as possible. Girls who gossip are insecure themselves. Chances are the things they're saying about you are only reflections of their own faults, so they call those things out on you in the hopes that no one will see those things in them. It's petty and lame, to be honest, but that's many young girls for you.
Now, where they were hitting you with the whip, I would have walloped them right back and much harder. That's something I've never accepted and I let people know that immediately. It's better to not ever stand for someone - anyone - abusing you in any way.
