Combeferre pulls a small silver stick--the remote--out of his pocket as he leads Duncan out. He knows this isn't really very scientific. But he wanted to try it out after he read it in that veterinary science book.
He leads Duncan in slow, ambling circles, in total silence, for a few minutes.
Then he points the remote at the tablet in the stable, and--after some increasingly frantic and exasperated button-pressing--it works! The tablet begins to play music. Specifically, Pachelbel's Canon.
Combeferre continues to lead Duncan in circles, keeping an eye on how the horse walks, and then--Combeferre grins. As the music speeds up, Duncan begins to trot gently in time to it.
Combeferre presses the remote button again, whereupon some loud rock music starts playing. Duncan stops short, puts his ears back, and refuses to budge. Taking the hint, Combeferre switches back to Pachelbel.
