Figging is the practice of inserting a piece of ginger root into the anus or vagina. Originally applied to horses as a form of deception as to the horse's condition, it now most commonly refers to a practice in BDSM.
Historically, this practice, also known as feaguing, was used to ginger up older horses in order to deceive the purchaser as to the age and condition of the horse, by having the animal hold its tail and head high and moving around nervously, characteristic of a younger horse.
The ginger, skinned and often carved into the shape of a butt plug, causes an intense burning sensation and discomfort to the subject.
"Figging...To treat a horse in such a way as to make the animal appear lively, as by putting a piece of ginger into the anus."
Actually, it's done to saddlehorses such as Saddlebreds, Morgans and Arabs before going into the show ring. It gets horses that don't carry their tail to carry their tail. It has nothing to do with health or vigor since these breeds tend to be "hot" anyway. It's done with a paste, not with a piece.
