Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Carrot on a Stick is supposed to guide the pig where you want to go, while you're on the pig.

This didn't happen, and the pig ignored the Carrot on a Stick and it started going backwards.

To reproduce this bug, put a saddle on a pig, and get on it. Then get a Carrot on a Stick and try to guide it in front of you, and the pig will stand still for a while and then go along its merry way as if you weren't even on it. Maybe this is happening to me only?
