I just moved into an area where I am unfamilar with the trails. I went riding after work
and ended up in complete darkness on the way back. My mare had no trouble picking out
trail to come home. She would stop and look , smell then carry on like the ever ready
bunny. I went back in daylight to see where we had been and she got us arround sloughs ,
avoided wire. I am impressed, it taught me to have confidence in the ability they have
at night. We had taken the road down so we weren't returning on trails she had already
travelled.
It also taught me to carry a small emergency flashlight in my kit. I had my cell phone
but a call home to say hi I am lost in the trees and don't have a clue where I am didn't
seem like it would help.
