Re: [RC] Riding in the dark and riding in balance - Suzi Maiorisi
I did my first moonlight ride on the August full moon...I don't know about
balance/serious stuff...I was just in awe of the surroundings in a different
light. It was at a place I've ridden several times and just gives you a
whole new perspective.
Subject: [RC] Riding in the dark and
riding in balance
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?
