FEAGUE Meaning and Definition

  1. Feague is an uncommon term that originated in the 18th century and often refers to a peculiar act performed on horses. It serves as a verb and refers to the practice of stimulating or irritating a horse's rectum to make the animal appear lively and spirited. This practice was believed to make horses appear more energetic and full of vigor. It involved the use of a stick, wand, or other blunt object that was inserted into the horse's anus and moved around with quick jerks. This stimulation of the horse's rectum was thought to produce a heightened level of excitement and activity in the animal.

    The term "feague" may also be used metaphorically to describe the act of boosting or invigorating someone or something, particularly through stimulating or provocative actions or techniques. It can refer to the act of artificially inflating energy or enthusiasm in a person or situation, similar to how the stimulation of a horse's rectum was believed to enhance its liveliness.

    It is important to note that the practice of feaguing horses is considered inhumane and unnecessary today and is not endorsed or practiced by responsible horse owners or trainers. The term is more commonly found in historical literature or texts related to horses and horsemanship.
