We had to go through a few
cattle gates - those ones made of barbed wire, that ping back as soon as you
release them (although only if you have a spooky horse) and are then
impossible to re-close unless you
have arms of steel to get the tension back into them again.
We made Nick get off and open them
mostly, since he has long legs and a really short horse.
Plus he seems to like getting off... honest...
