Giant - Idiot. Took him for a hack out to the beach, headed down the road and the was good, then a big tractor down the road, I turned him round and we were in next to that house with the flash garden so he had lots of space. He was fine while it past and then as soon as it was right past us he freaked out and went into one of his bucking fits. All good until he headed for the tarmac and I decided to abort mission. Better to land on my feet. Don't worry I was wearing my helmet :).

Got off the road after that, the gate next to the bridge was open so we went across the dairy farm paddocks. He was on best behavior, certainly wasn't getting away with anything... did safety stops for any little thing he even looked at. Interestingly hes much better at bending around than he used to be which is good.
