hyah
Rider's verbal prod
Hyah is an exclamation used to urge a horse forward, typically while riding or driving a team.
It's the classic sound of spurring an animal to speed up, often accompanied by a snap of reins: He shouted "hyah!" and the horses broke into a gallop.
Also spelled yah or giddyap in similar contexts.
