She mounted, tears of wrath spilling from her eyes and making her cheeks cold where they trickled down. The Boyle children, kicking and quirting their two horses riding double, in the Black Rim country, was considered quite comfortable enough for children were already on their way home. Mary Hope looked at their hurried retreat and turned furiously, meaning to overtake them and order them back.
Near the middle of the river, in shoal water, Rod Wheat was quirting up the cattle, when a big dun steer, trying to get out of his reach, sank in the quicksand, and Rod's horse stumbled across the animal and was thrown. He floundered in attempting to rise, and his hind feet sank to the haunches.
"Heard tell as how you’re fixin’ to race your plug ’gainst Oro, Kirby," Johnny drawled. "Also as how you laid down some good round boys to back his chance. I took me a piece of them—easy pickin’s." The sneer was plainer in his voice than it had been in his smile. Drew’s puzzlement grew. Why was Shannon leaning on him this way? Because he had stepped in to stop the quirting of Teodoro?

Hank's cruelty to his horse turned Whitey against him. Whitey had seen many animals treated unfeelingly, but he never could understand how a man could enjoy torturing one, as Hank seemed to. Finally, after an outburst on Hank's part that included quirting and spurring and swearing, Whitey could hold in no longer. "If you'd treat your horse better he'd behave better," he said angrily.
I had repeated this a number of times, even quirting some cattle along the outside, or burning a little powder in the face of some obstinate leader, when across the herd and to the rear I saw a succession of flashes like fireflies, which told me the boys were coming to our assistance.
