Pigroot

Howie showed his objection to the early hour with a few pigroots—he impressed the television people but merely caused the sure-seated Maddie to laugh.

I put my hand over the saddle and grabbed the monkey or jug handle (a strap fitted to the offside top of the saddle and used to help you get mounted fast — if the horse pigroots you can hold on to this to stop yourself coming off) and slowly started to pull myself aboard.
