Abstract
Electronic transmitter means are used for generating and emitting a control signal which is detected by an animal-handling mechanism associated with the animal for physically manipulating the animal to control its movement. The animal-handling mechanism includes motors for controlling the tensioning of reins connected to the head of the animal. A control signal can also be transmitted to activate a bat mechanism for striking the animal to urge it forward.
