"Yah! YAH! GIDDYAP!" The woman kicked him in the side with her boots so many times he felt nauseated. Hickory was not an angry horse; his temper matched his gait, but this lady was trying him. "Ma'am, if you continue to kick the horses we'll have to ask you to--" "YAH! I SAID GIDDY THE HELL UP!" She pulled his mane, yanking a piece out. He'd had enough. Hickory threw her off. Then he turned around and checked her face to make sure she was all right. "Stupid horse!" She yelled. He snorted in her face, turned, and cantered away.
