snorting

Bull's angry exhale

Snorting is the act of forcing air noisily through the nose—whether from contempt, amusement, or physical exertion.

Horses snort; so do people suppressing laughter or expressing derision: She snorted at his excuse.

Snorting also refers to inhaling drugs nasally: snorting cocaine, snorting crushed pills.
