In looking this up I'm torn between "Gehe!" (as in go!) and "Starten!" which seems to be equine specific. This is for a story, the situation is a single rider being pursued by an enemy, so I'm not sure which would be correct in this context. Any advice is much appreciated. ~Jen

My understanding of German phrases is extremely limited. A search generated - gehen=go, fahren=ride/run/move. Run horse=laufen pferd.
So for a horse command say Hans is the horses name I would assume laufen Hans would be Hans run. Gehen Hans would be go Hans.
German speaking members please jump in here and correct me.

I would translate it as follows
Gehen is walk Galopp means run.

Yes, but I think Jennifer is asking for the German command used with horses for "go". As a professional rider in a former life who spent 2 years riding in a German equestrian school I believe what you are looking for are, in order of "intensity" ("strongest" toward the top):
"Los!" "Geh!" Or what is actually used frequently is a sharp "click" sound made with the mouth.
In several equestrian sports, verbal commands are not permitted in competition, so riders usually avoid using verbal cues as they cannot be used in the ring and can cause the horse to become reliant upon the verbal cue.
Anyway, hope that helps. Johnny

Yes, I am in Germany now for work, not riding. I used to ride at Conrad Schumachers stables in Neuhof near Frankfurt.

Yep! That�s right. I was just not sure that anyone would know where Dreieich is. No, I was not working, just riding full-time.

Yes, Conrad is a great guy. I still go any pay visits regularly. It was an amazing 2 years, training with many of the best in the sport from all over the world.
It was a very fun former life.
It is funny how one thing leads to another. It was while I lived at Neuhof that I took German language courses at the Goethe Institut. Recently (10 years later) it was my ability to speak German, and willingness to live in Germany, that created an opportunity to move back, where I am now.
Funny how things work out.
All the best, Johnny

"H�" (repeated) is good to instruct a horse to go, but most horses need more then just a spoken instruction, in fact, Johnny is right, in sport, you can't use sounds to make instructions. You instruct horses with your body, you need to make a horse go, stop, move right left, or hold, with your body, and your hands. But, alright, for show-sake, you can go with "na los!!!", or "mach schon, h����!!", or "marsch!!", or yeah Denny "H�a ho" *lol* .. But that's not what makes a horse really go. If you ride a horse, you need to make clear what you want with what you DO, and you need to mean it, and be sure. But I guess you need to ride a horse to feel it. It's not what you say or grunt or yell or click. Bye!!
