whipper-in
A whipper-in is a hunting term, referring to the person in a hunting team whose job is to keep the hounds from straying by maintaining control over them. They typically ride on horseback, using a whip (only the sound, not to harm the animals) to direct the pack of hounds. This term is also sometimes used figuratively in politics to refer to a person whose job is to ensure members of their party attend important votes and meetings.
