Aristocratic Minis

Just wondering if any of you saw the Carriage Driving on the HRTV channel. It was an hour long show about Carriage competition in England which included dressage, cones and marathon (although I don't think that is what they called it on the show).
The horses looked magnificent. There was even one mini in competition.
The four in hand horses were splendid. Many times all were moving in cadence and legs in unison. They followed one woman as she drove her 4 in dressage. She had very many voice commands including a long trilling noise she used before she brought her 4 to a halt right dead on the correct spot.
Just wondering if any of you saw that show and can comment on all of the voice commands being used. I've never heard such a variety of sounds and wondered if it is an "English" thing or that is common on this side of the pond.
Comments appreciated. I'm trying to learn because driving is such a wonderful thing.
