Not an expert; that's why all the questions. I have driven work horses, and they are trained differently than riding horses. Notably, they are trained to voice commands and they know their left from their right. Fun fact: they are trained by men predominately and will not respond to a womans voice until some re-training. It's usually easier for women to lower their voices for commands.
My age is showing, but my father plowed with a mule team and my grandfather trained trotters. He was never called a horse whisperer but it was said there was never a horse he couldn't ride or train. He did trick riding and performed at the Cardston Stampede and Calverton Roundup. He did ride "hippodrome".

Oooh. Nice. I don't know "hippodrome", was it in NY?
Riding standing, two horses and he jumped them.
That is what I meant by "Roman Riding", I had just not learned the other name. Quite the feat!
