The driving game is essentially getting your horse to yield to rhythmic pressure. But the intent is to not touch your horse, but rhythmically pump the air to yield away from the pressure. Gypsy started out not paying much attention to my swinging the carrot stick in the air, but did pay attention when it started touching her. After a few more attempts, she yielded very nicely - both her hind and front ends and from both sides.
The first photo shows her yielding her front end, but only after whacking her on the head first. The second 
photo shows her yielding her hind end at a much lower phase (well, the photo's not so great, but she really did yield nicely!).
