  1. turn to the right side; "the horse geed"
  2. give a command to a horse to turn to the right side
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Gee \Gee\, v. i. [imp. & p. p. {Geed}; p. pr. & vb. n.
      {Geeing}.]
      1. To agree; to harmonize. [Colloq. or Prov. Eng.] --Forby.
  
      2. [Cf. G. j[81], interj., used in calling to a horse, It.
            gi[95], F. dia, used to turn a horse to the left.] To turn
            to the off side, or from the driver (i.e., in the United
            States, to the right side); -- said of cattle, or a team;
            used most frequently in the imperative, often with off, by
            drivers of oxen, in directing their teams, and opposed to
            haw, or hoi. [Written also {jee}.]
  
      Note: In England, the teamster walks on the right-hand side
               of the cattle; in the United States, on the left-hand
               side. In all cases, however, gee means to turn from the
               driver, and haw to turn toward him.
  
      {Gee ho}, [or] {Gee whoa}. Same as {Gee}.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Gee \Gee\, v. t. [See {Gee} to turn.]
      To cause (a team) to turn to the off side, or from the
      driver. [Written also {jee}.]
