This, I guess. And ditto to all the posts above on the sound effects, it's cheesy (I still really like Recluce though). Imagine you're writing about driving a car: Adding all the commands in is like describing every time someone stepped on the clutch or the brakes or turned the steering wheel, it's kind of overkill.
"He urged his horse forward and into a brisk trot."
"She reined in her horse and came to a stop at the hitching post."
Horsey enough for me, and I expect for most people.
