Jock′ey-stick.

A stick five or six feet long, which is connected at one end to the hame of the near horse of a pair, and at the other end to the bit of the off-horse, to keep him at a distance. Used in connection with a single line, the favorite mode of driving a team in most parts of the West, many parts of the South, and worthy of adoption by all.

1877.
