Mine too. I haven't done this in a while, but years ago, I had little speakers for a Walkman (that long ago bit the dust), and I put them in a cantle bag, and I'd ride in the ring sometimes to music. The horses seemed to respond to the music - or maybe the music just changed MY energy level and they followed my lead. :) I'm not big on headphones on the trail though where I think I should be very aware of what's around me.
