Steve just got smarter, and it involves highly dangerous land vehicles. Pigs. When I tried out the latest 1.4 snapshot, I was like sweet saddles are now worth something! But now I want more, I'd like to be able to shoot my bow and swing my sword while on a pig. Steve solves this by strapping a carrot-on-a-stick to his leather helmet (Or the pig's head, possibly).

Think of the fun to be had with this. You could speed around shooting zombies while on your trusty pig, or you could eat without losing acceleration. This idea would truly complete the pig saddling, one way or another I think it should be added.
Another thought I had would be to add dual-wielding (Though add in many other OP consequences which I might not support) where one could hold a carrot on a stick and weapon of choice.
Instead of wearing a carrot helmet... Just put the helmet ON THE PIG.
So, when you right click a pig with a "carrot helmet", it will equip the pig, and it will always run in the direction you face, allowing the use of tools while steering a pig. Then, when you dismount, the carrot helmet is dropped so you can pick it up, and the pig stops moving.
Besides, if the carrot was on MY head, the pig would run around in circles trying to get me off so it could eat the carrot off my head, rather then following me.

I guess that could work too, though if the pig were to run in circles when the carrot were on your head why wouldn't it do that when it's in my hand?

Also, maybe you cannot hurt the pig while you are on it?
Honeslty, I like the helmet more than dual.
