  1. I played "horse" very often when I was very young. I got a piece of cord for a reins and put it in my brother's mouth. I then drove him around the house. When I would want him to turn to the right I would pull the cord in my right hand. When I wanted to turn him to the left I pulled the cord in my left hand. My brother would then after a while be the driver and I would be the horse. He would treat me as I treated him.
