This has become my favorite video on youtube. We are learning to drive horses with lines attached to bits in the horses' mouths, as illustrated below. Slight pressure on either line combined with a vocal command gives the horses info on whether we want them to turn left or right, stop or go, etc, but the dude above does it with vocal commands only. Impressive, especially at the beginning of the video when he has to knock a block off a pole by getting the horse to barely brush it. The horn intro is also nice.
