I'm having some difficulty getting this achievement - currently I am placing my saddle on a pig close to a cliff, but as soon as I jump on the pig always turns around and walks back towards safety..

Any tips on getting my porcine friend to play nice?

Title should read "How do I ride a pig off a cliff?" :) – Arkive Apr 25 '11 at 15:44

Seems like overkill, according to this. – Keaanu Apr 25 '11 at 14:37
I agree, this is a little overkill but basically how I ended up doing it - you don't need to dig such a large pit, just enough for the pig to take damage – soulBit Apr 25 '11 at 17:50

Once the pig is near the ledge, you can hit it (while still riding it) to bump it off. No need to wait for the pig to jump. – Jason Plank Apr 25 '11 at 20:04

Very recent updates have added a Carrot on a Stick, an item used to control where the pig will move and where it will move. Using that will enable you to easily control your pig for the achievement.

Carrot on a Stick was added on Oct 25, 2012 (ver 1.4.2). Added to dev versions on Sep 6th, 2012 (12w36a). – Peter Mar 18 at 18:59

You can help yourself with a bucket of water placed opposite to the cliff. The flow will push the pig off.
