English term or phrase: Giddy-up!
If you take the turn to the right, you’ll find XYZ, where you can take traditional Western trail rides into the surrounding area. *Giddy-up!* Straight ahead are the lakes.

Was hat das mit Schwindel zu tun?
Hallo wach?

Danke!

Explanation:
m.E. das deutsche Pendant zu "giddy-up" - also das was man sagt wenn das Pferd losgehen bzw. schneller laufen soll.
Einfach "hü" oder auch mit "ho".

Kommt aber natürlich auf den Zusammenhang an ... Wenn's doch nicht um Pferde geht, dann einfach "los!"

Trotzdem Danke an Bernard fürs Wikipedia-Link:
hü (manchmal auch hüh oder hüja) ist einen Zuruf an ein Zugtier mit der Bedeutung vorwärts, los geht's.

agree  Hendarto Setiadi: nicht "hü hott"?
2 hrs
  -> Stimmt - so lautet die "offizielle" Version ;-)
agree  Bernhard Sulzer: auch: hüja http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hott
6 hrs
neutral  John Jory: Vorsicht: hü = rechts und hott = links als Kommandos an Zugpferde. Da is Bernhard mit hüa näher dran.
