Locoing refers to the act of driving an animal, usually a horse, into madness or frenzy. There are several synonyms for this term depending on the context and the animal involved. For horses, synonyms include horse-crazing, horse-maddening, or horse-frenzying. The term "running amok" can also be used to describe the state of an animal that has been driven to madness. For other animals such as cattle, the term "stampeding" may be used instead. Regardless of the animal involved, the act of locoing is considered cruel and inhumane and should be avoided at all costs.
