[RC] Riding in the dark and riding in balance - Kris
Okay, I will admit that I have not ridden in the
dark - yet. But as I was walking back to the house after doing chores the
other night, I was thinking about the night riding posts recently, and imagining
myself out there on my horse. Even just walking along, it seems that I am
much more aware of my balance and posture when I can't see the ground or
surroundings as well. (My husband says it works until you trip
and fall on your face....) And I thought that not seeing as well might be
a good thing for balance and posture while riding. So, do those of you
that ride in the dark find that is the case? Do you feel more balanced and
"in tune" with your horse in the dark? Is that part of the mystique of
riding in the dark?
