for the first time in a long time i rode after work in the winter .. didn't last year (did lots of in hand etc) and didn't the year before particularly..
but having, seemingly, sorted the problem i wanted to be sure it wasn't just a "flash in the pan" and if it wasn't (which it wasn't! :-) should get back into it again...
but oh it is dark getting form stable to arena. some of the yard lights have gone awol/stopped working
and it was lonely, and pretty damn cold! until i got going.
TBH, i probably wouldn't have tacked up, but I knew one person was yet to come ....
so we did about 10 minutes int he arena under the lights, which only light half the arena at the moment, the top end is a black hole, think a light needs moving slightly
but all good
I used to ride in the half light/dark all the time. Once your eyes get used to the lack of light, it's not too bad in an arena with an obvious fence. Of course, lights are much nicer. *G* Glad you are getting in some quality "saddle time."
