>74 (from below) + 22 Carry = 96, x2 (Quadraped) = 192.  No slowing for carrying a NORMAL SIZED adult man with a little bit of cargo (a loaded pouch or two).  Slowing occures beyond this point.  I've always used this, it was presented (the doubling portion) in a different game (I do not recall which) with about a full printed page explaining why.  These giants that often enter PnP will need physically more powerful horses. Apply the Modifying Creatures for up to +100% Str and Sta, reducing speed to 70%.  This way, if you are under 400 pounds (with gear), the horse barely notices you.  Picking one this size, however, counts as a quality modifier, I would go with cost x5. And reduced availability


That's some good idea.  Didn't think on the Quad thing.  Makes sense.  
I just keep recalling Mongo riding in on his ox in Blazing Saddles :)


I'll have to think on it and come up with some rare horses in the ranches for Giants :)
