"Giddyup" is a command given by rider to horse meaning "git goin'" or "get a move on, ole fella."
The cowboy kicks his heals into the belly of the horse and says "giddyup!"
I've riddin' horses in Brazil in my life and time but I ain't never spoken to any of 'em, 'cept to say "nice pony".
So the question is : What would I tell 'em if I wanted 'em to get movin'?
Thanks in advance for your kind suggestions!

upa / eia

upa: para incentivar um animal ou uma pessoa a levantar-se ou a subir

Note from asker:
| Antonio, I'm not sure. Aurelio also says "corcovo". This sounds to me like a command in a rodeo urging the horse to jump up and sort of stand on his hind (back) legs, like in this picture: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/63/195872249_1c48d3b10a.jpg?v=0 . I am looking for a command that means "start moving" or "start running." Aurelio also says eia = serve para animar, excitar, which might be more appropriate than "jump up." I'm confused, but thanks for your suggestion. Am I wrong to think that upa = jump? |

Kiss sound
In south America it is a custom to make a horse going by making the sound of a kiss. I know, it sounds wierd, but the quicker you do this, the faster the horse will go.
The other best way to explain it is by using the example of when you tickle a child with kisses, since these are many and fast, the horse reacts to the sound and will go... P.S. Don't go kissin a horse though, it may bite back :)

Note from asker:
| Thanks, Juan, for this great answer. The only problem is I was looking for a word I could actuallly write. I agree this sound could coax the horse to go, and to coax a cat or kitten to come closer. I hope the horse doesn't step on the cat! Thanks again, my friend. |

Jack: para este efeito, qualquer interjeição, som ou estalido pode servir desde que o animal esteja treinado para a aceitar como ordem de comando!!
Note from asker:
| Oi Leonor, Aurelio diz que arre se emprega para incitar as bestas a andarem, mas que tambem significa co'lera/raiva. Entao "arre" me parece uma possibilidade, mas nao sei se arre e' sempre un comando de urgencia ou se tb pode significar "start walking." Giddyup nao e' empre um comando urgente. ???? Que voce acha? |
