[RC] Riding in the dark and riding in balance - Vallonelee

I had a really hard time the first time I started out in the complete dark and had vertigo for about ten minutes.  I wanted to throw up.  My horse could care less and just trotted along while I hung onto his neck - really great balance and form that night :)   After a bit it cleared and the night riding was wonderful.  I only have that problem when I start out on a pitch dark night (or early morning) and only for the first few minutes.

".......and God sought to bestow upon man a supreme mark of his blessing. God created the horse. The horse could run faster than the deer, jump higher than the goat, and endure longer than the wolf. Man, being encompassed by elements that sought to destroy him, would have been a slave, had the horse not made him king."
