Okay, so here I sit, 2 a.m. in the morning. Wide awake after
discovering 2 of our horses had escaped their pen on a rainy nite. Thank
goodness one of our other horses took exception to their flight and started
calling to them. That is what woke my husband up, who in turn woke me.
I grab the biggest flashlite we have, only to find that it is about out
of power. It is a rechargable, with very high candle power, yet won't keep a
charge, even if it isn't in use. Luckily, there is just enough power left to
locate the wayward horses. They were down at the barn, munching peacefully on
loose hay.
After tugging on their blankets, who needs halters...and getting them
settled into stalls in the barn, we try to go back to sleep. But there I lay,
thinking about how poorly that flashlite works in times of real need. And I
think about all the good answers to be found on Ridecamp and the Endurance
Open.
So, folks, what high powered flashlites do you use? I need something that
is strong enough to really light up the area, and reach a fairly good distance
out there.
