You tack the horse up, but rather than mounting, you clip two long rope to each side of the bit, slide the ropes through the stirrups, and then walk behind the horse and begin teaching it to respond to your cues, even when he can't see you. Most of the time you use a verbal cue to get them to walk or speed up, and then use the rope as if they were reins to turn and stop the horse.

What would you use in order to train your horse without having to mount it?

A halter and leadrope, or a lunge line, or you could ground drive it, when you clip to long ground driving rope to the bit, slide the rope through the stirrups, and act as if you were riding the horse, only controlling him with the ropes, slapping them to get the stirrups to kick him to go, and turning and stopping him as if you would in the saddle with normal reins.
