I have a four year old Irish Draft gelding. He's great on the roads and with all sorts of traffic but he's never hacked out by himself. What's the best way to start him off? We don't have any 'short' circular hacks nearby so we have to be on busy roads fairly quickly after leaving the yard. He is quite a calm, laid back lad and seems to have taken everything else in his stride but i don't want to scare him!
