At about 3 mins 45 into the clip? Yes, That's what I meant in my post
about Neil having mistaken something in the video. I believe you are
mistaking the long very slim sticks he uses, for strings. You can see
them quite clearly in several of the shots immediately following -
especially in the head shot where you can see the stick tapping one
horse's neck to indicate a turn. You can also see him hold the sticks
up at various points when he gestures to the audience. The sticks
are similar to the brushwood in the "poles" he uses to weave the
teams around. Not much thicker than a dressage whip, but longer. And
rather like string, of course, but more useful because more rigid :-)

Intelligence is no defence against one's own stupidity
but it helps me to think up better excuses.
