Took advantage of the nice day and took Giant on a long hack out down Puruaha Rd, had a bit of a fuss when the dogs on both sides of the rode came running up to their gates barking, but thats not really his fault, no horse would like that. Trotted down the bridlepath next to the road and took the left hand road. A few weeks ago I took Harry through to the beach but they way I went is now blocked off. But the girls told me a new way, so we went down Lot 12, which is a nice ride, you go through sand dunes, then across a landing strip, more sand dunes and out to the beach. Trotted back up the beach and came home the normal way down the road. Just have to make sure he doesn't try and get too fast on the way home, hes never going to take off lol, he just gets a bit quick and its part of his turning thing.

Had the vet out for Giants lumps, she said they are probably some sort of localised reaction, but she doesn't know what too. Perhaps saddle pad, washing powder (although none of this has changed), could be environmental. She gave him two shots which should help to bring them down within a week. If not, or if they come back there is another shot I can go and get him, then we get into biopsys and stuff, but hopefully what she gave him will work.

Harry was still a bit stiff but heaps better, so I took him for a stroll to the beach and a splash in the water. The walk stretched him out well and he was feeling better on the way back than the way there.

Jumps got here! Hauled them all down to the paddock a set up for tomorrow. They will need priming and painting at some point so they don't rot, they are untreated.
